is shorthand for
.

We have




Similarly,

where



To capture all the partial derivatives of
, compute its gradient:


2. The problem is asking for
and
. But
is already a function of
, so the chain rule isn't needed here. I suspect it's supposed to say "find
and
" instead.
If that's the case, then


as the hint suggests. We have



Putting everything together, we get
