SUMMARY
The electric potential is defined by the function v(x,y,z) = f(x,y,z), where the discussion emphasizes the importance of detailing reasoning and intermediate steps in problem-solving. The initial term appears reasonable, but there is uncertainty regarding the exponent of the z factor. It is advised to maintain each term separately rather than combining them into a common denominator, as this approach clarifies the origin of each term in the equation.

I would suggest you give us your reasoning and middle steps rater than just providing your final answer in your proposed solution. It will make it much more obvious where you go wrong if you do. I checked the first term only, which looks reasonable apart from the exponent of the z factor. I am guessing you are on the correct track but I really cannot tell if you do not give more details.
I would also keep each term as it is and not try to put it on a common denominator, it will make it more apparent where each term comes from.
