Understanding how to use implicitdiff command in Maple 17

Question

I am given a system $$\left\{\begin{matrix}xy^2+zu+v^2=3 \\ x^3z+2y-uv=2 \\ xu+yv-xyz=1 \end{matrix}\right.$$ which defines x, y, z as functions of (u,v) around (1, 1, 1, 1, 1). I've been asked to compute $$\frac{\partial y}{\partial u}(1, 1)$$ and $$\frac{\partial z}{\partial v}(1, 1)$$

I've been struggling to understand how to use the implicitdiff command in Maple. I have looked on Maple Help but I am still confused about how to identify my parameters. If anyone can offer some clarification/tips, that would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Let

eqs:= {x*y^2 + z*u + v^2=3,x^3*z+2*y-u*v=2,x*u + y*v - x*y*z = 1};

For $\partial y/\partial u$, you would use

implicitdiff(eqs, {x,y,z},y,u);

and then of course you can evaluate this at $(x,y,z,u,v) = (1,1,1,1,1)$:

eval(%, {x=1,y=1,z=1,u=1,v=1});
