Answer:

Marginal product equals total product with the first worker.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the inputs cannot take the negative values, the marginal product is unexplained at zero degrees of the employment of input. For any degree of an input, the sum of marginal products of every foregoing unit of that input gives the total product. So, the total product is the sum of marginal products.
