The output at a certain plant is Q =f(x, y) = 0.08r + 0.12ry + 0.03,2 per day, where x is the number of hours of skilled labour and y is the number of houn of unskilled labour used. Currently 80 hours of skilled labour and 200 hours of unskilled lab are used each day. Use total differential of Q to estimate the change in the output that will result if an additional hour pf skilled labour is used along with an additional 2 hours of unskilled lahour.

Question
The output at a certain plant is Q=f(x, y) = 0.08r + 0.12ry + 0.03,2
per day, where x is the number of hours of skilled labour and y is the number of houn of
unskilled labour used. Currently 80 hours of skilled labour and 200 hours of unskilled lab
are used each day. Use total differential of Q to estimate the change in the output that will
result if an additional hour pf skilled labour is used along with an additional 2 hours of
unskilled labour.
