3- Assuming that the equation F(U, x, x , Xn) = ****** = f(x1, x2,,.....,xn): 0.33 a) Find the expressions for 60, 60," 6x2 6x 6x2 = 0 implicitly defines a utilityfunction U and 6x4 6xn b) Interpret their respective economic meanings. c) Now. assume the utility function is U(x, y) = y√x. Does the consumer believe that more is better for each good? Do the consumer's preferences exhibit a diminishing marginal utility of x? Is the marginal utility of y diminishing?
