Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Chapter 7.2, Problem 26E

ProductivityLabor and Capital The productivity of a country is given by f ( x , y ) = 300 x 2 3 y 1 3 , where x and y are the amount of labor and capital.

Compute the marginal productivities of labor and capital when x = 125 and y = 64 .

Use part (a) to determine the approximate effect on productivity of increasing capital from 64 to 66 units, while keeping labor fixed at 125 units.

What would be the approximate effect of decreasing labor from 125 to 124 units while keeping capital fixed at 64 units?
