Answer

$a.\quad 3$ $b.\quad\{(x,y,z)|\quad x,y,z\geq 0,\quad 4-x^{2}-y^{2}-z^{2} \gt 0\}$, the interior of a sphere (not the sphere itself) with radius 2, in the 1st octant (see image)

Work Step by Step

$a.$ $f(1,1,1)=\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{1}+\ln(4-1^{2}-1^{2}-1^{2})=3+\ln 1=3$ $b.$ Because of the restrictions for square roots, x,y, and z must be non-negative (points in the 1st octant or on the positive axes). Because of the restriction for logarithmic functions, $4-x^{2}-y^{2}-z^{2} \gt 0$ $4 \gt x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}$ which is a region bounded by the circle of radius 2, centered at the origin. (the sphere itself is not included in the domain) Combining the two restrictions, the domain of f is $\quad\{(x,y,z)|\quad x,y,z\geq 0,\quad 4-x^{2}-y^{2}-z^{2} \gt 0\}$, the interior of a sphere with radius 2, in the 1st octant (see image)
