At the point (x1 , x2 ), the marginal utility of good 1 is x2 and the marginal utility of good 2 is x1 . Therefore Arthur’s marginal rate of substitution at the point (3, 4) is −x2 /x1 = −4/3. Example: Arthur’s uncle, Basil, has the utility function U âˆâ€" (x1 , x2 ) = 3x1 x2 − 10. Notice that U âˆâ€" (x1 , x2 ) = 3U (x1 , x2 ) − 10, where U (x1 , x2 ) is Arthur’s utility function. Since U âˆâ€" is a positive multiple of U minus a constant, it must be that any change in
