(Please show with steps) Consider a firm that uses two inputs, x1 andx2. The firm's production function is

y=x^17/10 x^3/10

x1represents the number of employees working per week, and x2represents the number of cubicles the firm leases from a shared-space office complex. The firm operates in competitive markets for its product and for the production process inputs (i.e., labor and office space).

Suppose the lease for cubiclesis under a long-term contract and the firm already chose how many cubicles to lease. Suppose specifically that the firm is leasing8cubicles. The firm, however, must decide how many employees to hire for its projects.

LetP stand for the price of output produced by the firm and let1stand for the cost per employee.Which of the following functions represents the firm's demand function for employees?
