The utility function is u = x1½ + x2, and the budget constraint is m = p1x1 + p2x2. Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x1(p1, p2), and good 2, x2(m, p1, p2). Looking at the cross price effects (∂x1/∂p2 and ∂x2/∂p1) are goods x1 and x2 substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (∂x1/∂m and ∂x2/∂m) are goods x1 and x2 inferior, normal or neither? Assume m=100, p1=0.5 and p2=1. Using the demand function you derived in...
