Question 2 (6 Marks) (Chapter 2) Consider the function f : R3 -R defined as f(x1,2,3 +4eli++21), (G) Explain why f has a global minimum over the set Hint: Read Example 2.33 (i) Find the global minimum point and global minimum value of f over the set C. Example 2.33. Consider the function/(x1,x2)=xf+xỈ over the set The set C is not bounded, and thus the Weierstrass theorem does not guarantee the...
8. [10 points) a. Consider the function f (x1, x2) = x1 - xż. Investigate convexity of this function in R2. What can you say about minimum and maximum values of the function and its behavior at the origin. b. Consider the function f(x1, x2) = x1+xz over the domain C = = {x € R2 : || xt||1 < 1}. Find the maximum of the function f over C.

Consider the expected utility function 71u (21) + Tzu (22). Let x2 = f (x1, U) describe an indifference curve for this utility function, so that hju (x1) + Tzu (f (x1,U)) = U. Differentiate this expression with respect to x1 to find the slope of an indifference curve. Find the slope of this indifference curve when x1 = 22. Explain why it has this slope.
