Pls help with below homework. A consumer’s utility function is in the form of: U(X,Z) = F(X,Z) where both X and Z are (initially) goods. Unlike are typical utility functions, if the consumer uses beyond a certain level of either good, the goods become bads; i.e., after a certain amount, goods X and Z generate disutility. Given this information, draw an indifference curve with X on the horizontal axis and Z on the vertical axis.
