Hy's utility function is U(x1, x2) = (x1)(x2). Which bundle would he like better: (4x, 6x) or (8x, 3x)--where x is any positive real number? In the utility function, the values are subscripts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking that he would be indifferent since both yield the same value by the utility function--given that x remains constant. But I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (phi):

sounds right.
