How I can choose $(t₁,t₂,...,t_{r})∈(0,1)^{r}$ such that $f^{(k)}\left(1-2\prod_{j=1}^{k}t_{j}\right)=0$?

Let $f:ℝ→ℝ$ be a real analytic function. Assume that $f$ has simple trivial zeros at each nonpositive integer. Then, all the $k^{th}$ derivative $f^{(k)}$ of $f$ have necessarily infinitely many real zeros. Let us consider the functions: $f^{(k)}\left(1-2\prod_{j=1}^{k}t_{j}\right)$ for $k=1,..,r$ and $(t₁,t₂,...,t_{r})∈(0,1)^{r}$. We know that these functions have also infinitely many real zeros.
My question is: How I can choose $(t₁,t₂,...,t_{r})∈(0,1)^{r}$? such that $f^{(k)}\left(1-2\prod_{j=1}^{k}t_{j}\right)=0$ and $f^{(k+1)}\left(1-2\prod_{j=1}^{k}t_{j}\right)≠0$

that is, the real $(1-2\prod_{j=1}^{k}t_{j})$ is a simple root of the function $f^{(k)}$
