Partial Derivatives & the Gradient · Hard problem
A firm's cost (in dollars) from using units of input and units of input is , subject to the budget line . At the point on this budget line, moving in the direction decreases the budget- input and increases (staying on the line). Find the rate (a signed number, per unit distance moved) at which cost changes in that direction.
