A firm attempting to expand output in the short-run faces the total product of labor schedule: TPL = 24 L^2 - L^3 The firm's total product is maximum at L= . The firm's total product curve is a concave up function at the interval [ ). (Note: Please write the largest interval where the total product curve is a concave up function. Please use a comma to separate two numbers, but please do not use any space. ) The firm's marginal...
