Answer

Points lying inside the sphere of radius 2 are where $f(x, y)$ is continuous.

Work Step by Step

We are given that \[ f(x, y, z)=\ln \left(4-x^{2}-y^{2}-z^{2}\right) \] So we have to find the domain of $f(x, y, z)$ We know that function $\ln P(x, y, y)$ has the domain $P(x, y, z)>0$. So here, \[ \begin{array}{l} 4-x^{2}-y^{2}-z^{2}>0 \\ \Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}<4 \end{array} \] This denotes the points lying inside the sphere of radius 2 where $f(x, y)$ is continuous.
