Question

Question 10 (1 point) A competitive firm uses three factors of production. Its production function is $f(x, y, z) = (x + y)^{1/2}z^{1/2}$. Originally the factor prices were $w_x = $1$, $w_y = $2$, and $w_z$ $= $3$. The prices of factors $x$ and $z$ decreased to half of their previous levels, but the price of factor $y$ stayed constant. The cost of production
