Final answer:
To compute (f x g)(2, -1, 8), we first find f(2, -1, 8) and g(2, -1, 8) by substituting the values. Then we multiply the corresponding components of f and g to get (f x g)(2, -1, 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
To compute the expression (f x g)(2, -1, 8), we need to first calculate f(2, -1, 8) and g(2, -1, 8).
For f(x, y, z) = x^2 + yz, we substitute x=2, y=-1, and z=8 to get f(2, -1, 8) = 2^2 + (-1)(8) = 4 - 8 = -4.
For g(x, y, z) = (-sin(z), exz, y), we substitute x=2, y=-1, and z=8 to get g(2, -1, 8) = (-sin(8), e(2)(8), -1) = (-sin(8), e^16, -1).
Finally, we compute (f x g)(2, -1, 8) by multiplying corresponding components: (f x g)(2, -1, 8) = (-4)(-sin(8), -4e^16, 4) = (4sin(8), 4e^16, -4).
