Where is $f(x,y,z)=begincases
0 & text$xyx=0$ \
x^2y^2z^2sin big (frac1xyz big) & text$xyz ne 0$ endcases$ continuously differentiable?



What I got so far is that $f$ can be written as a composition, $f=hcirc g$ where $g(x,y,z)=xyz$ and $h(t)=t^2sin big(frac1t big)$. By the chain rule we have that: $nabla f(x,y,z) = h'(g(x,y,z))cdot nabla g(x,y,z) = big (2xyzcdot sin big( frac1xyz big) - cos big( frac1xyz big)big)cdot (yz,xz,xy)$.



Is that even correct? What should the gradient be at the origin or in other points where $xyz=0$? I'm really not sure how this fits into the mix. Also, is the function continuously differentiable in these points?

          Yes, what you have is correct.



          Now you need to consider the case, where



          $$x = 0 quad lor quad y = 0 quad lor quad z = 0,$$



          and then consider the function
          $$f = h circ g.$$



          After finding $Df$ piecewisely, you need to check whether that piecewise function, $Df$, is continuous or not.
