How do I carry out the product rule for
xy'z'
Is it possible to do the product rule with y'z' and after that multiply it by x?

Thank you, I really appreciate your help.Jameson said:The product rule extends for three variables as follows. Let's say we have three functions that are in terms of x, we'll call them f(x),g(x), and h(x).
[tex]\frac{d(f(x)g(x)(h(x))}{dx}=f'(x)g(x)h(x)+f(x)g'(x)h(x)+f(x)g(x)h'(x)[/tex].
The Product Rule for xy'z' is a mathematical rule used to find the derivative of a function that is a product of three variables: xy'z'. It is a variation of the general Product Rule and is specifically used for finding the derivative of a function with three variables.
The Product Rule for xy'z' is applied by taking the derivative of each individual variable (x, y', and z') and multiplying them by the other two variables. The derivatives are then added together to find the final derivative of the function.
The Product Rule for xy'z' is important because it allows us to find the derivative of a function with multiple variables. This is useful in many areas of science and engineering, such as physics and economics, where variables are often interdependent and their rates of change need to be determined.
Yes, for example, if we have the function f(x,y,z) = xy'z', the Product Rule would be applied as follows: f'(x,y,z) = x(y'z') + y(xz') + z(xy'). This can also be written in a simpler form as f'(x,y,z) = y'z' + xz' + xy'.
Yes, there are two special cases to keep in mind when using the Product Rule for xy'z': when one of the variables is a constant and when one of the variables is a constant multiple of another variable. In these cases, the derivative can be simplified even further, but the general steps of the Product Rule still apply.
