 4 Comprehension Type Question:

The price of a product (f (x, y)) depends on the price (x) of the raw materials and the price
(y) of transportation of the product to the market. The dependency of these quantities is
given by the function
f : R2 → R
f (x, y) = x2 + xy + y 2
Answer Questions 8,9 and 10 using the information above.

8. Which of the following statements is true if the rate of change of the price of the product
with respect to the price of the raw materials is the same as the rate of change of price
of the product with respect to the price of transportation of the product to the market?
(MCQ)
� Option 1: The price of the raw materials is twice the price of the transportation
of the product to the market.
� Option 2: The price of the raw materials is half the price of the transportation
of the product to the market.
� Option 3: The price of the raw materials is the same as the price of the
transportation of the product to the market.
� Option 4: The price of the raw materials is 3 times the price of the transporta-
tion of the product to the market.
