Answer

$\dfrac{∂f}{∂x}=yz$ $\dfrac{∂f}{∂y}=xz$ and $\dfrac{∂f}{∂z}=xy$ $\dfrac{∂f}{∂x}|_{(0,-1,1)}=-1$ and $\dfrac{∂f}{∂y}|_{(0,-1,1)}=0$ and $\dfrac{∂f}{∂z}|_{(0,-1,1)}=0$

Work Step by Step

Given: $f(x,y,z)=xyz$ We will find the partial derivatives as follows: $\dfrac{∂f}{∂x}=yz\dfrac{∂f}{∂x}(x)=yz$ $\dfrac{∂f}{∂y}=xz\dfrac{∂f}{∂y}(y)=xz$ and $\dfrac{∂f}{∂z}=xy\dfrac{∂f}{∂x}(z)=xy$ $\dfrac{∂f}{∂x}|_{(0,-1,1)}=(-1)(1)=-1$ and $\dfrac{∂f}{∂y}|_{(0,-1,1)}=(0)(1)=0$ and $\dfrac{∂f}{∂z}|_{(0,-1,1)}=(0)(1)=0$
