14. The produced output of a certain good depends on the quantities q₁ and 92 used of two kinds of
raw materials. Suppose that the dependence is given by the production function Q = 2q₁2/392¹/3.
(a) Find the equation of the isoproduction curve or isoquant (contour line of a production function)
that contains the point (12, 1.5).
(b) Rewrite this equation into an equation that gives 92 explicitly as a function of q₁.
(c) Make a sketch of the isoquant in part a.
(d) Find the point on the isoquant for which the value of q2 equals 16.
