Jack Benny can get blood from a stone. If he has x stones, the number of pints of blood he can extract from them is f(x) = 2x^(1/3). Stones cost Jack w dollars each. Jack can sell each pint of blood for p dollars.
a) How many stones does Jack need to extract y pints of blood?
b) What is the cost of extracting y pints of blood?
c) What is Jack’s supply function when stones cost w each? When stones cost $8 each?

my answers:
a)
y^3/8
b)
(w)(y^3/8)
c)
S(p,w) = (8p/3w)^(1/2)
S(p) = (p/3)^(1/2)
d)
Y = 20(8p/3w)^(1/2)
