Homework Statement



For:
z(x,y)=(x^2)y-3y
Find [tex]\Delta[/tex]z and dz when x=4, y=3, [tex]\Delta[/tex]x=-0.01, [tex]\Delta[/tex]y=0.02

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I got the partial derivatives:

df/dx=2xy, and df/dy=x^2-3

and solved dz=0.02

However, I don't know how to find [tex]\Delta[/tex]z
