Suppose the labor cost (in dollars) for manufacturing a camera can be approximated by \frac{3}{2}x^2 + y^2 - 9x - 6y - 2xy + 184 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. Labor cost will be minimized when x = and y =.
