Partial derivatives with SymPy

You are an economist working for an automotive company. Your manager has modeled the production process as a function of the number of machines \(K\) and the number of workers \(L\) to produce \(F = -3K^2 + 100K - \frac{1}{2}L^2 + 100L\) cars. This is your multivariate objective function. You'll need to use partial derivatives to optimize this function.

symbols, diff, and solve have been loaded for you.
