To ll an order for 150 units of its product, a rm wishes to distribute production
between its two plants, plant 1 and plant 2. The total cost function is given by
c = f(q1; q2) = 0:1q
2
1 + 7q1 + 15q2 + 5000, where q1 and q2 are the numbers of units
produced at plants 1 and 2, respectively. How should the output be distributed in
order to minimize costs?
