A manufacturing firms production function is Q= KL+K+L. For this production function, MPL= K+1 and MPK = L+1. Suppose that the price r of capital services is equal to 1, and let w denote the price of the labour services. If the firm is required to produce 5 units of output, for what values of w would a cost-minimizing firm use...

a) only labour?
b) only capital?
c) both capital and labour?

I have been working on this question for the last few days with other people and its just messing with our minds. Could an Econ major please help us!!!

so far I have gotten 5/36 for a and 36/5 for b which I dont think is right.

any help would be much appreciated. I might scan another question and toss it up here if anybody can actually help with this.

THANKS!!!

ok this might sound stupid, but does anyone know how to prove that the cauchy-schwartz inequality,in euclidean space, is an equality if and only if the vectors are linearly dependant?

that's just the inequality. which I know how to prove a few ways. I am struggling to understand how to prove that it is an equal only when the vectors are linearly dependant.

thanks for the help though!

The easiest question on this assignment is turning out to be the hardest.

These are visual displays of articulatory phonetics, but I have to write the scientific\specific name they are referred to as. Please Newschoolers, you are my only hope.

Two quick problems. Just want to make sure I am right for the first

Consider the following system of linear equations : P=a-bq and p=c+dq. Assume that a>c>0 and that d>0, b>0. Solve for the values of p and q in terms of the parameters a, b, c, d that represent the intersection of these two lines. Note that a, b, c,d are simply positive constants

and

Suppose x^(1/4)y^(3/4)-j=0 where J is a positive constraint. Solve for dy/dx

oops the very first line should be:

x^2\sin{\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}+\frac{x}{2} & \text{if } x \neq 0

the x/2 is added, not multiplied.

how do i solve 3^(x+2) + 3^(x+1)=108

i am really stuck, because b^x +b^y cannot be simplified

Solve for x: 3^(x+1)+3^(x+2) = 108 Simplify 3^(x+1)+3^(x+2) = 108 by making a substitution. Simplify and substitute y = 3^x: 3^(x+1)+3^(x+2) = 12×3^x = 12 y = 108: 12 y = 108 Solve for y. Divide both sides by 12: y = 9 Perform back substitution on y = 9. Substitute back for y = 3^x: 3^x = 9 Eliminate the exponential from the left hand side. Take the logarithm base 3 of both sides: Answer: | | x = (2 i n pi)/(log(3))+2 for n element Z

it's probably not a typo. your teacher probably wants you to just find the integer solution which is x=2. This is how I would do it (with a bunch of extra steps for clarity)

3^{x+2}+3^{x+1}=108
3^23^x+3^13^x=108
3^x(9+3)=108
3^x=\frac{108}{12}
\log_3\left(3^x\right)=\log_3(9)
x=\log_3\left(3^2\right)
x=2

that's in LaTeX.

this might work to make it more clear:

http://mathim.com/q/#3^{x+2}+3^{x+1}=108\\%0A3^23^x+3^13^x=108\\%0A3^x%289+3%29=108\\%0A3^x=\frac{108}{12}\\%0A\log_3\left%283^x\right%29=\log_3%289%29\\%0Ax=\log_3\left%283^2\right%29\\%0Ax=2

Good luck with that product rule thing.

I was about to ask about some t test related but just I realized that I have 11 data so 10 degrees of freedom and my book lists that t value at 95%. Usually I never have the value I need cause I collect data in strange numbers, and I have to search around for the t value.

no worries. and yeah exponents and logs are very cool. Theymight seem boring at first and so does trig, but once you learn them both and about complex numbers then they lead to a very interesting mathematical relationship called euler's formula.

that's the reason the first solution that was posted here looked so crazy but you can just ignore that for now.

If I remember correctly you change 10^x to e^x(ln10) and then integrate.

anyone able to give me as quick a summary can be given on line integrals, curl, and surface integrals, i would be in your debt. alas, i have fallen far behind these past weeks.

Line integrals are the sum of integrals over a piecewise integrable function on the set of Real numbers in counterclockwise motion using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus v2. Curl is simply the cross product of the gradient vector (an n-dimensional vector composed of partial derivatives of their corresponding unit vectors, and surface integrals are the double integral of a vector-valued function multiplied by the square root of the partials of the x and y component values squared plus on. I can be more verbose if you like, Garret. Don't be a stranger.

When the vectors are linearly dependent, the vectors given are multiples of each other, and, therefore, have no angle between them such that the their dot products are considered simple products between numbers, rather than A . B = ABcos\Theta, as in the formal definition. Since, if the vectors were linearly independent, they may not exist on the same line, plane, space, and, thus, the existence of an angle between vectors - possibly orthogonal vectors - exists so that their sums are less than or equal to the case in which they are linearly dependent.
