A Cobb–Douglas production function is given by
Assuming that capital, K, is fixed at 100, write down a formula for Q in terms of L only. Calculate the marginal product of labour when
(a) L=4
(b) L=25
(c) L=10000
Verify that the law of diminishing marginal productivity holds in this case.
If the demand function is P = 70 - Q find an expression for TR in terms of Q.
(1) Differentiate TR with respect to Q to find a general expression for MR in terms of Q. Hence write
down the exact value of MR at Q = 60.
(2) Calculate the value of TR when
(a) Q=60
(b) Q=61
and hence confirm that the 1 unit increase approach gives a reasonable approximation to the exact value of MR obtained in part (1).

y = Ax^(4/3) [1−(x/21)+ (x²/315)−....] is the solution where A is an arbitrary constant.
Water is being poured at the rate of 2π cubic meter/min into an inverted conical tank that is 12-meter deep with a radius of 6 meters at the top. If the water level is rising at the rate of 1/6 m/min and there is a leak at the bottom of the tank, how fast is the water leaking when the water is 6-meter deep?
