![2. A consumer has the utility function
u = (x₁c₁) ª (x₂-C₂), a+b=1
U = (x1 - C1) (x2 - C2)b, a+b=1
where the ci are interpreted as minimum subsistence levels of i, i = 1,2
xi,i=1,2. Derive the consumer's Hicksian demand functions and expenditure
function.
3. The consumer has the utility function = x=x1ax21-a.
(a) Find her indirect utility function.
(b) Confirm Roy's identity by:
i. Differentiating the indirect utility function with respect to the price of
good 1;
ii. Using the first-order conditions to obtain solutions for 1x1 and XX,
and therefore an expression for -A1-Ax1;
iii. Showing that (a) and (b) give the same result.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7a57cbb9-45c2-44eb-a48f-cfccf88de643%2F4de502d0-908f-458b-9267-05cc36091a97%2Fs1r4utua_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
