MANUFACTURING The output of a certain plant is Q = 0.06x2 + 0.14xy + 0.05y2 units per day, where x is the number of hours of skilled labor used and yis the number of hours of unskilled labor used. Currently, 60 hours of skilled labor and 300 hours of unskilled labor are used each day. Use calculus to estimate the change in unskilled labor that should be made to offset a 1-hour increase in skilled labor so that output will be maintained at its current level.
