Question: Suppose that P = 3 . 1 2 x 2 + 1 . 5 y 2 0 . 0 8 x 3 0 . 0

Suppose that
P =3.12x2+1.5y20.08x30.01y3tons
is the production function for a product with x units of one input and y units of a second input. This function has two critical points, the origin (0,0) and one other. The critical point with positive values of x and y yield the maximum production. Find the values of x and y that will maximize production.
x= unitsy= units
What is the maximum production? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
tons
