Assume the utility U of a pair of goods x and y can be determined by U(x, y) = 4xy. Furthermore, consider your budget is given by an elliptic shape defined by x2 + y2 = 1. Calculate the quantity of x and y, which should be bought to maximize or minimize the utility and the associated utility U! The quantities do not have to be integer. Don't evaluate if the extreme points are minima or maxima
