Frank's utility function for WWE wrestling event tickets (r,) and NASCAR race tickets (2) is of the following 0.25 0.75 Cobb-Douglas form: U(x,,x₂) = x^^" 2 1 xhis income is Y, the price of WWE tickets is p., and the price of NASCAR tickets is p2.a. Mathematically derive his demand functions for x, and 2. No graphs! You are not required to use Lagrangian Function, you can just use the demand formulas for the Cobb - Douglas utility function (Chapter 5, fourth slide). b. Using your answers from part (a), find the demand functions for x and x,, and mathematically prove that they have the proper negative slope.
