Problem 5 Calculus

Problem 5. Write down all the first-order and second-order partial derivatives for the Cobb-Douglas function f(x, y) = ® Ax y 2 Explain what is meant by saying that the function is homogeneous of degree a +B and comment on the relationship between this property and the notion of 'returns to scale: For the particular Cobb-Douglas function with A = 1, a = 2, B = c with c > 0. Find the gradient at the point (3, 2) of the contour which passes through that point. = 1 sketch some typical contours f(x, y)
