Suppose Bill has preferences over chocolate,x, and ice cream,y, that are represented by the Cobb-Douglas utility function u(x, y) =x^2 y. 1. Write down two other Cobb-Douglas utility functions, besides the one above, that represent Bill’s preferences. 2. Write down two more Cobb-Douglas utility functions that do NOT represent Bill’s prefer- ences. 3. Draw 3 indifference curves that represents Bill’s preferences at 3 different levels of satsifaction. 4. What is Bill’s marginal rate of substitution between chocolate and ice cream?...

Cobb-Douglas and utility function
Derive the consumer's optimal demand of x and y, respectively, when the budget constraint is px + qy = m and the utility function is x^p + y^p.What I've done so far :Deriving with respect to x and y:px^p-1 py^p-1Then:(px^(p-1))/(py^(p-1)) = (x/y)^(p-1)I'm lost after that. Please help me with steps
