Some step-by-step solutions from Problem Set 1 - potentially good review for the first quiz
(b) Suppose h(t)=t, so that w=f(x,t), where x=g(t). Use part (a) to find dw/dt and simplify your answer.
An example of the chain rule in action
17.5.20 In considering a production function, P=f(l,k), where l is labor input and k is capital input, Fon Boulier, and Boldfarb assume that l=L g(h), where L is the number of workers, h is the number of hours per day per worker, and g(h) is a labor effectiveness function. In maximizing profit p, given by
where a is the price per unit of output and w is the hourly wage per worker, Fon Boulier, and Goldfarb determine
 . Assume that k is independent of L and h, and determine these partial derivatives. Another step by step chain rule problem, with a tricky notational twist. Problem Set 2 - Due August 9th
