How do I fix this formula to plot a 3D surface plot?

I've already tried different with and with out .* operator for the numerator and it still will not plot. The error I get is this...

You’re almost there!
You have to vectorise the division as well:
fxy = (3.*xx.*yy)./(xx.^2+2*yy.^2);

My pleasure!
I still miss those little details as well. I suspect we all do from time to time.
