= 8. An economic student faces the following utility function: U = 100W + 150L + 0.78WL – 2.5W2 – 0.708L2 where W is hours worked per week in order to raise income for course fees (as well as extra consumption for entertainment) and L is all other non-paid work time (leisure and including studying time). The student wants to maximise utility. Compute the optimal values of W and L, and check if these values define a maximum.
