The table below contains seven utility functions. For each utility function please compute the marginal utility with respect to X, and the marginal utility with respect to Xz. Use your expressions for the marginal utilities to find the marginal rate of substitution (MRS = Make sure you simplify the expression. Finally, state the level of utility for the consumption bundle (5,8) rounded to 1 d. You are not required to show your work in...

Natalia and her sister, Gina, have the following utility functions on the number of slices of pizza (x) and cans of soda (y) they consume in the semester.
