3.euler's Theorem
Eulers Theorem
Eulers Theorem:
For two variables:
If z=f(x,y) is homogenous function degree n then
x + y=nz
Proof:
Since z is homogenous function of degree
z=f(x,y)= f()
x +y =nz
z=f(x,y)= f()
(

If z is homogenous function of degree n then z is
homogenous function in x and y in degree n then
