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.

The segment from (-1,4) to (2,-2) extended three times then terminal point of segment is
ziro4ka [17]
There are various ways in which you could do this problem.  I'm going to share what I think is one of the faster ways.

Instead of thinking of jumping from (-1,4) TO (2,-2),  Consider the horiz. jump separately and the vertical jump separately.  From -1 to 2 is 3 units.  Three times that is 9 units.  Add 9 to -1, obtaining 8.  That's the horiz. component of the terminal point.

From 4 to -2 is -6 units.  Mult. that by 3.  The result is the vert. comp of the terminal point.
