Concept explainers
Cobb-Douglas production function The output Q of an economic system subject to two inputs, such as labor L and capital K, is often modeled by the Cobb-Douglas production function Q(L, K) = cLaKb, where a. b, and c are positive real numbers. When a + b = 1, the case is called constant returns to scale. Suppose a =
a. Graph the output function using the window [0, 20] × [0, 20] × [0, 500].
b. If L is held constant at L = 10, write the function that gives the dependence of Q on K.
c. If K is held constant at K = 15, write the function that gives the dependence of Q on L.
