Answer

$-0.60$

Work Step by Step

Apply the chain rule: $\dfrac{dP}{dt}=(\dfrac{\partial P}{\partial L})(\dfrac{dL}{ dt})+(\dfrac{\partial P}{\partial k})(\dfrac{dK}{dt})$ or, $=(-1.911)k^{0.35}L^{-0.35}+0.25725 L^{0.65}K^{-0.65}$ or, $=-1.203233025+0.607401286$ or, $\approx -0.595831738$ or, $ \approx -0.60$
