Marginal Productivity Consider the Cobb-Douglas production function $f(x, y)=200 x^{0.7} y^{0.3} .$ When $x=1000$ and $y=500,$ find (a) the marginal productivity of labor, $\partial f / \partial x$ (b) the marginal productivity of capital, $\partial f / \partial y .$

Marginal Productivity Repeat Exercise 61 for the production function given by $f(x, y)=100 x^{0.75} y^{0.25}$.
Economics Let $w=2 x^{1 / 2} y^{1 / 3} z^{1 / 6}$ be a production function that depends on three inputs: $x, y,$ and $z .$ Find the marginal productivity with respect to $x$, the marginal productivity with respect to $y,$ and the marginal productivity with respect to $z$.
