Is perhaps x1, x2 and x3 three independent variables? If so you have a 3-D calculus problem. Which is nothing more than a generalization of the 1-D calculus...

...in that case it would be long-term useless to provide you with answers or solutions since this surely is an introductory problem for you to learn from?

This problem can be solved using MATLAB, but my guess is that it is meant to be solved with pencil and paper.

The gradient of the function z(x1,x2,x3) is (4*x1-x2+x3,-x1+8*x2,x1+2*x3) and so, the function z has the origin as its unique critical point. Also, the hessian matrix (by rows) is [4 -1 1;-1 8 0;1 0 2] and the characteristical poly is

p(L)=-L^3+14L^2-54L+54

and the alternating sign of its coefficients (-1 14 -54 54) allow us to confirm that the origin is a local minimum.

You can also confirm that the local minimum is a global minimum observing that z function can be written as

z=2+((x1-8*x2)^2+(2*x1+4*x3)^2+(3*sqrt(3)*x1)^2)/16
