Anthony loves going to soccer matches and baseball games. The utility he receives from attending these sporting events is given by U (S,B) = 2S0.4B0.7(i.e. 2 x S raised to the 0.4 power x B raised to the 0.7 power), where S is the number of soccer matches and B is the number of baseball games he attends each year.
