In an exchange economy, there are two agents, A and B, and there are 330 total units of x and 330 total units of y. The two consumers have utility functions u(x, y) = x²y and u(x, y) = zy, respectively. The equation of the contract curve in terms of the allocations of agent A can be written as УА 330z A V-ZA where the value for V is V =
