Answer

$f(x,y,z)$ is continuous for $y \geq x^2$ and $z \gt 0$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $f(x,y,z)=\sqrt {y-x^2} \ln z$ The function $f(x,y,z)=\sqrt {y-x^2} \ln z$ represents a squared root function which cannot be less than $0$. Also, $\ln$ can only be taken of a positive number. Thus, $ {y-x^2} \geq 0$ or, $y \geq x^2 $ and $z \gt 0$ This means that $ y \geq x^2 ; z \gt 0$ Hence, $f(x,y,z)$ is continuous for $y \geq x^2$ and $z \gt 0$
