Suppose the labor cost (in dollars) for manufacturing a camera can be approximated by L(x,y)=3/2x2+y2−2x−2y−2xy+60 where x is the number of hours required by a skilled craftsperson and y is the number of hours required by a semiskilled person. Find values of x and y that minimize the labor cost. Find the minimum labor cost.
