can you explain how they got the answers here 10.Derek has utility for good 1 and good 2 given by u = x1/³x/³.(d)(e)What is Derek's Marginal Rate of Substitution, dr2?When ₁ = 2 and x2 = 8, how much of good 2 is Derek willing to give up toget 1 extra unit of good 1?(c)When x₁ = 8 and x₂ = 1, how much of good 2 is Derek willing to give up toget 1 extra unit of good 1?Explain why the two rates in parts (b) and (c) are different.How are your answers to the above questions different for Derek's friend Joe,who has utility given by v = x²/³x2/³?Solution: a) dx2X2I1dx2X2⇒ dx₂dx₁X1-4dx₁ ⇒ dx₂-4(1) ⇒ 4 units. c)-(1/4) dx₁ ⇒ dx2−(1/4)(1) ⇒ 0.25 units. d) When he has a lot of x2 and a little of x₁ in part(b), his marginal utility of x2 is relatively low and his marginal utility of £₁is relatively high. Therefore, he is willing to give up a lot of x2 to get anadditional unit of x₁. The opposite is true in part (c). e) They would notchange; Joe's utility is a monotonic transformation of Derek's.dx2dx1=X2I1→dx₂-==
