Answer:

2 units of X and 5 units of Y

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Utility is maximized when (MUx / Price of X) = (MUy / Price of Y)  

This condition holds for the following cases

1.  X = 4 (MUx / Px = 8 / 4 = 2) and Y = 6 (MUy / Px = 4 / 2 = 2)

2.  X = 2 (MUx / Px = 16 / 4 = 4) and Y = 5 (MUy / Px = 8 / 2 = 4)

For the first case Total cost = 4 x $4 + 6 x $2 = $(16 + 12) = $28 (Budget is exceeded).

In the second scenario, Total cost = 2 x $4 + 5 x $2 = $(8 + 10) = $18 (budget is exhausted).

Optimal case contains  X = 2 units, Y = 5 units.

I do 10 - 8 for this, right...?
natima [27]
No, you would do 100 - 64 because 10^2 is 100 and 8^2 is 64.
100-64= 36
The square root of 36 is 6. The length of the other leg is 6.

Alexei wants to hang a mirror in his boat, and put a frame around it. The mirror and frame must have an area of 19.25 square fee
Drupady [299]
<span>The first part is already in squared terms. "19.25 sq ft" Taking the measurements for the mirror 3ft and 5ft, you'd get: "15 sq ft." Subtract that answer from the previous number to get "4.25 sq ft.

Hope this helps out a little lol :)</span>
