Q5The rate of change of the function f(x) =x + 2 /1 − 8xwith respect to x when x = 1. (i) The number of units Q of a particular commodity that will be produced with K thousand dollars of capital expenditure is modeled by Q(K) = 500 K^2/3. Suppose that capital expenditure varies with time in such a way that t months from nowthere will be K(t) thousand dollars of capital expenditure,whereK(t) =2t4 + 3t + 149 /t + 2 Required:(a) What will be the capital expenditure 3 months from now? How many units will be producedat this time? (b) At what rate will production be changing with respect to time 5 months from now?Will production be increasing or decreasing at this time?
Please check the answer and add explanation properly at every steps and solve steps wise

Please can I get some explanations on this question. Especially when ln was added to find the elasticity.
An economist fits the following production function to data from Australia and New Zealand, Y = AK" L1-« She estimate that for Australia, a = = 0.7. She estimates that for New Zealand, a = = 0.2 Based on this information, which of the following statements is most likely to be correct. There is not enough information to comment on the relative capital intensities Production wilI be relatively more capital intensive in New Zealand than in Australia Production will be relatively more capital intensive in Australia than in New Zealand Production will be equally as capital intensive in each country since they both experience constant returns to scale
