With the following condition: UxxUx^2-2UxyYxUy+uyyUy^2<0, check the convexity of the indifference curves for each of the following functions and describe the precise relationship between diminishing marginal utility and quasi-concavity for each case.
A. U(x,y)=3x+y
B. U(x,y)=(x.y)^1/2
C. U(x,y)=(x)^1/2+y
D. U(x,y)=(x^2-y^2)^1/2
E. U(x,y)=(xy)/(x+y)
(^1/2 used inplace for square root)
