Answer

As a result $f_x=3x^2yz^2$, $f_y=x^3z^2+2z$, $f_z=2x^3yz+2y$.

Work Step by Step

$f(x,y,z)=x^3yz^2+2yz$ In order to find $f_x$ we treat $y$ and $z$ as constants and differentiate with respect to $x$. $f_x=3x^2yz^2$ The analogous can be done for $f_y$ and $f_z$. $f_y=x^3z^2+2z$ $f_z=2x^3yz+2y$
