Consider the utility function for a utility maximizing individual consuming two goods, X and Y. U (X,Y)= X2Y+15. This person pays $3 for good X and $5 for good Y with an income of $150. (5Y+3X<=150) budget constraint. 1. Find the amounts of good X and Y that maximizes this utility 2. Compute the utility

Question: Starting with the Cobb-Douglas utility function: U = X^a * Y^(1-α), set up the utility maximization problem and derive the demand function for good X.
