The equation below is a production function: Q = (200)L + (100)K - (0.2)L^2 - (0.1)K^2, where Q is output, L is labor, and K is capital. What is the Marginal Product of Labor of this function?

If the production function is Q = K^(1/2)L^(1/2) and capital is fixed at 100 units, what will the marginal product of labor (MPL) be?
In economics, a production function is a function of capital K and labour L, i.e. Q = f(K, L). The marginal product of capital, MPK, is measured by the first order partial derivative with respect to K, while the marginal product of labour, MPL, is measured by the first order partial derivative with respect to L. Given the production function, Q = 10K^{3/5} L^{2/5} a) Obtain an expression for the marginal product of capital, MPK. b) Obtain an expression for the marginal product of labour, MPL. c) Evaluate MPK and MPL when K = 60 and L = 100. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
