Cobb-Douglas production function The output of an economic system \(Q,\) subject to two inputs, such as labor \(L\) and capital \(K\) is often modeled by the Cobb- Douglas production function \(Q=c L^{a} K^{b} .\) When \(a+b=1,\) the case is called constant returns to scale. Suppose \(Q=1280, a=\frac{1}{3}, b=\frac{2}{3},\) and \(c=40\) a. Find the rate of change of capital with respect to labor, \(d K / d L\) b. Evaluate the derivative in part (a) with \(L=8\) and \(K=64\)
Derivatives from tangent lines Suppose the line tangent to the graph of \(f\) at \(x=2\) is \(y=4 x+1\) and suppose \(y=3 x-2\) is the line tangent to the graph of \(g\) at \(x=2 .\) Find an equation of the line tangent to the following curves at \(x=2\) a. \(y=f(x) g(x)\) b. \(y=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\)
Given the function \(f,\) find the slope of the line tangent to the graph of \(f^{-1}\) at the specified point on the graph of \(f^{-1}\) . $$f(x)=-x^{2}+8 ;(7,1)$$
Consider the following functions (on the given interval, if specified). Find the inverse function, express it as a function of \(x,\) and find the derivative of the inverse function. $$f(x)=x^{2 / 3}, \text { for } x>0$$
Use the following table to find the given derivatives. $$\begin{array}{llllll} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline f(x) & 5 & 4 & 3 & 2 & 1 \\ f^{\prime}(x) & 3 & 5 & 2 & 1 & 4 \\ g(x) & 4 & 2 & 5 & 3 & 1 \\ g^{\prime}(x) & 2 & 4 & 3 & 1 & 5 \end{array}$$ $$\left.\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right]\right|_{x=2}$$
