We are tasked with finding the maximum and minimum values of the function \( f(x, y, z) = xyz \) subject to the constraint \( x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2 = 6 \), using Lagrange multipliers.

### Steps for using Lagrange Multipliers:

1. **Objective function**: \( f(x, y, z) = xyz \)
2. **Constraint function**: \( g(x, y, z) = x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2 - 6 = 0 \)

We introduce a Lagrange multiplier \( \lambda \) and set up the system of equations using the gradient condition:

\[
\nabla f(x, y, z) = \lambda \nabla g(x, y, z)
\]

This leads to the following system:

- \( \nabla f(x, y, z) = (yz, xz, xy) \)
- \( \nabla g(x, y, z) = (2x, 4y, 6z) \)

Now, equating \( \nabla f = \lambda \nabla g \):

\[
\begin{aligned}
yz &= \lambda (2x) \quad \text{(1)} \\
xz &= \lambda (4y) \quad \text{(2)} \\
xy &= \lambda (6z) \quad \text{(3)}
\end{aligned}
\]

Additionally, we have the constraint equation:
\[
x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2 = 6
\]

### Solve the system of equations:
We now solve this system, using the relations from the Lagrange multiplier condition and the constraint.

Let's begin simplifying:

1. Divide equation (1) by (2):
   \[
   \frac{yz}{xz} = \frac{\lambda (2x)}{\lambda (4y)} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{y}{x} = \frac{2x}{4y} \quad \Rightarrow \quad y^2 = 2x^2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \pm \sqrt{2}x
   \]

2. Divide equation (2) by (3):
   \[
   \frac{xz}{xy} = \frac{\lambda (4y)}{\lambda (6z)} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{z}{y} = \frac{4y}{6z} \quad \Rightarrow \quad z^2 = \frac{2}{3}y^2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}y
   \]

### Substitute into the constraint equation:
We now substitute \( y = \pm \sqrt{2}x \) and \( z = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}y \) into the constraint equation \( x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2 = 6 \).

Let’s simplify this step-by-step:

\[
x^2 + 2(\sqrt{2}x)^2 + 3\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}y\right)^2 = 6
\]

After solving for the variables, we can substitute the values back into the function \( f(x, y, z) = xyz \) to find the maximum and minimum.
