For each of the following utility functions, draw an indifference map with 3 indifference curves. Be sure to label your axes, and label your curves as IC1, IC2, and IC3, where U1 < U2 < U3. (5 points each) a. ?(?, ?) = 3? + 5? b. ?(?, ?) = ? 2 + ? 2 c. ?(?, ?) = −? 2 + ln(?) d. ?(?, ?) = min(3?, 5?)
For each of the following functions, i) pick three utility levels and draw the precise indifference curves that are associated with the levels of your choice, ii) label the utility level of the lines--you cannot just draw random lines and assign arbitrary utility levels, and iii) give the name of preferences they represent (hint: see figures in textbook chapter 3) 2. u(x,2) -min(xi,x2) 5. u(xi, x2) -xjx2

please answer all questions 2. Draw the graph of an indifference curve map for the utility function U(X,Y)= XY. Put good X on X-axis and good Y on Y-axis. Draw at least 3 indifference curves and label the utility level for each indifference curve. Explain why or why not do the indifference curves cross each other on the map.

1. Consider the following utility functions (a) For each of these utility functions: i. Find the marginal utility of each good. Are the preferences mono- tone? ii. Find the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) iii. Define an indifference curve. Show that each indifference curve (for some positive level of utility) is decreasing and convex. (b) For the utility function u2(x1, x2), can you find another utility function that represents the same preferences? Find the relevant monotone trans formation f(u) (c)...
For each of the following functions, i) pick three utility levels and draw the precise indifference curves that are associated with the levels of your choice, ii) label the utility level of the lines -- you cannot just draw random lines and assign arbitrary utility levels, and iii) give the name of preferences they represent (hint: see figures in textbook chapter 3). 1. u(x1, 12) = I1 + 2.12 2. u(21, 22) = min(21, 22) 3. u(x1,22) = 21 4....
4. Graph a typical indifference curve for the following utility functions and determine whether they have convex indfference curves. a. U = 3x + y. b. U = (x2 + y2) c. U = (x2 - y2) 2 d. U = x3 y3 e. U = logx + logy.
.Use separate graphs to sketch two indifference curves for people with each of the following utility functions: U(x, y) = x + 2y. U(x, y) = min{x,2y}. What type of preferences are represented by a utility function of the form U(x, y) = square root of x+y? What about the utility function V(x,y) = 13x+13y? Consider the utility function u(x,y) = ?^2 ?^3. What kind of preferences does it represent? Is the function v(x,y) = ?^4 ?^5 a monotonic transformation...
