Below are production functions that turn capital (K) and labor (L) into output. For each of the production functions below, state and PROVE whether it is Constant/Increasing/or Decreasing Returns to scale.

4. Proving constant returns to scale A production function expresses the relationship between inputs, such as capital (K) and labor (L), and output (Y). The following equation represents the functional form for a production function: 9=f(K, L). If a production function exhibits constant returns to scale, this means that if you double the amount of capital and labor used, output is twice its original amount. more than Suppose the production function is as follows: less than equal to f( KL)=5K+9L...

Determine whether the following production functions exhibit constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale. L, K, and H are inputs and Q is the output in each production function. Initially, set each input = 100 and determine the output. Then increase each input by 2% and determine the corresponding output to see if constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale occur.
