Suppose that the satifaction received from a number of rides taken on a roller coaster is given by the function S(x) = 200 (2x+1/3x+4)0.5 ,where S is the satisfaction received and x is the number of rides taken. Find the rate at which the satisfaction changes with respect to the number of rides taken.

The goal of the consumer is to maximize the total utility or satisfaction derived from their purchase choices, given the unique budget constraint. To calculate total utility of a given combination of T-shirts and movies, one would use the following approach: Group of answer choices For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, assign a number of utils to that combination. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, survey a group of individuals to determine an average for utils to be assigned to the number of T-shirts and movies. Use utils as a measure of utility, assigning a specific number to T-shirts and movies, and then add those together. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, use Google to identify the number of utils associated with the number of T-shirts and movies and then sum them.
