In the lectures, we introduced Gradient Descent, an optimization method to find the minimum value of a function. In this problem we try to solve a fairly simple optimization problem: min f(x) = x2 TER That is, finding the minimum value of x2 over the real line. Of course you know it is when x = 0, but this time we do it with gradient descent. Recall that to perform gradient descent, you start at an arbitrary initial point xo,...

2. Consider the following four consumers (C1,C2,C3,C4) with the following utility functions: Consumer Utility Function C1 u(x,y) = 2x+2y C2 u(x,y) = x^3/4y^1/4 C3 u(x,y) = min(x,y) C4 u(x,y) = min(4x,3y) On the appropriate graph, draw each consumer’s indifference curves through the following points: (2,2), (4,4), (6,6) and (8,8), AND label the utility level of each curve. Hint: Each grid should have 4 curves on it representing the same preferences but with different utility levels. 3. In the following parts,...
