Answer

$f_{xzy}=f_{yxz}=6yz^{2}$

Work Step by Step

Assuming that the third partial derivatives of $f$ are continuous, we apply Clairaut's theorem, ($f_{xzy}=f_{yxz}$). The easiest first partial derivative is $f_{y}$, (the arcsin term is treated as constant) $f_{y}=2xyz^{3}+0=2xyz^{3}$ next, partially derive by x, $f_{yx}=2(1)yz^{3}=2yz^{3}$, and lastly, by z $f_{yxz}=2y(3z^{2})=6yz^{2}$ $f_{xzy}=f_{yxz}=6yz^{2}$
