Multiple Choice

Suppose the utility function $U = f ( x , y ) \text { is a measure of the utility (or satisfaction) }$ derived by a person from the consumption of two products x and y. Determine the marginal utility of product if the utility function is $U = - 3 x ^ { 2 } + x y - 8 y ^ { 2 }$

• A) \(U _ { y } = x - 8 y\)
• B) \(U _ { y } = x - 32 y\)
• C) \(U _ { y } = x - 16 y\)
• D) \(U _ { y } = x + 8 y\)
• E) \(U _ { y } = x + 16 y\)
