The function
\( f(x, y, z) = xy \sin(z) \) is continuous for all real numbers
\( x \), \( y \), and \( z \). The continuity of
\( f(x, y, z) \) is guaranteed by the continuity of its individual components.

The function
\( f(x, y, z) = xy \sin(z) \) is a product of three elementary functions:
\( xy \) (a product of two variables) and
\( \sin(z) \) (the sine function of one variable).

Each of these individual functions is continuous within its domain. Let's discuss the continuity of
\( f(x, y, z) \) based on the continuity of its components:

1. xy:

- The product of two continuous functions is continuous. Both x and y are continuous functions of their respective variables.

- Therefore, the function
\( xy \) is continuous.

2. sin(z):

- The sine function
\( \sin(z) \) is continuous for all real numbers
\( z \).

- Therefore, the function
\( \sin(z) \) is continuous.

3.
\( f(x, y, z) = xy \sin(z) \):

- Since
\( xy \) and
\( \sin(z) \) are both continuous, their product
\( xy \sin(z) \) is also continuous.

- The composition of continuous functions remains continuous.
