For the utility function u(x, y) = x 0.5 + y 0.5 , do the following: (a) derive marshallian (uncompensated) demand functions x(px, py, i) and y(px, py, i). (hint: don’t just copy the cobb-douglas example from lecture.) (b) derive the marshallian demand curve for x(px|py, i) when py = 10 and i = 100. (c) derive equations for the engel curves of x and y when px = 5 and py = 10.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

days of the week

step-by-step explanation:

javier earned more money then kyle, so that won't always be a constant term, but the days of the week do not change so that term is always constant.

edit: i meant

not sure but it may be b, as i said i'm not sure.
