Total Utility may be determined by summing up the marginal utilities of each unit consumed.
Total utility(TU)= Average utility multiplied by quantity consumed.
i don't know the answer. i think it may be minimum or maximum.
explain the difference between total utility and marginal utility
If marginal utility is positive will you have total utility increase with additional consumption?
total utility and marginal utility are the same for the first unit of good consumed.
The paradox of value is explained by the concept of marginal utility, which states that the value of a good is determined by its marginal utility rather than its total utility. For example, water has a high total utility as it is essential for life, but its marginal utility is low because in most situations there is an abundance of water. Conversely, diamonds have a low total utility but a high marginal utility due to their scarcity, leading to a higher market value despite their limited practical use.

marginal utility is zero
marginal utility decreases
Total utility is the overall utility achieved by using any product while marginal utility is the increase/decrease in utility from use of one more unit of product.
at zero
Total utility is falling when the additional satisfaction or benefit derived from consuming an additional unit of a good or service decreases to the point where it becomes negative. This typically occurs when a consumer has consumed beyond their optimal level, leading to diminishing marginal utility. As a result, the overall satisfaction decreases, indicating that the consumer may need to reduce consumption to maximize their total utility.
