Prove that this production function exhibits diminishing


Suppose that a firm's technology is given by the following production function:

f(k,L) = 6k^1/6*L^1/6

1. Prove that this production function exhibits diminishing marginal product in both  and. This is not the same thing as decreasing returns to scale.

2. Prove that this production function exhibits decreasing returns to scale.
