![In this problem why would L be multiplied by 0.5 if we're following the product rule? (n x^(n-1)) Ex: 10K^0.5 (0.5L^(0.5-1))
What happened to the 0.5 in front of L?
60L-0.5
Correct
30L0.5
30L-0.5
Suppose 9 = 10K0.5 10.5. What is the average
product of labor if K = 36?
6010.5
compute
APL =
Incorrect
To find the average product of labor, we will
APL = 1.
3
c
10K0.5 0.5
L
=
60L
Next, we can plug in K = 36. (Recall that
360.5
√36= 6.)
= 10K0.5 L(0.5-1) = 10K0.5 L 0.5
APL 10.360.5 L 0.5 10.6L-0.5 = 60L-0.5
