<p><strong>An isoquant</strong> is a contour line drawn through the set of points at which the same quantity of output is produced while changing the quantities of two or more inputs.</p>

<p>Having production function: $f(x_1, x_2) = min \{x_1, x_2 \} + x_2$ for $x_i \in [1, 10]$</p>

<p>We can produce <strong>isoquants</strong> for varying number of inputs. Below you will find 10 isoquants for quantities ranging from 1 to 10 (keep in mind that $Q = 1$ and $Q = 2$ are overlapping). I hope it helps to visualize the problem. </p>

<p>$f(x_1,x_2) = min \{x_1,x_2\} + x_2$ if that was the production, what would the isoquant be? 
Would it simply follow $x_1 = x_2$? I'm not entirely sure what it the graph would look like. </p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-04-25)

$f(x\_1,x\_2) = min \{x\_1,x\_2\} + x\_2$ if that was the production, what would the isoquant be?
Would it simply follow $x\_1 = x\_2$? I'm not entirely sure what it the graph would look like.

$f(x\_1,x\_2) = \min(x\_1,x\_2) + x\_2 = \begin{cases} x\_1 + x\_2 & \text{if } x\_1 \leq x\_2 \\ 2x\_2 & \text{if } x\_1 > x\_2 \end{cases}$

Here is the isoquant map for the production function :

**An isoquant** is a contour line drawn through the set of points at which the same quantity of output is produced while changing the quantities of two or more inputs.

Having production function: $f(x\_1, x\_2) = min \{x\_1, x\_2 \} + x\_2$ for $x\_i \in [1, 10]$

We can produce **isoquants** for varying number of inputs. Below you will find 10 isoquants for quantities ranging from 1 to 10 (keep in mind that $Q = 1$ and $Q = 2$ are overlapping). I hope it helps to visualize the problem.
