Cobb-Douglas and utility function
Derive the consumer's optimal demand of x and y, respectively, when the budget constraint is px + qy = m and the utility function is x^p + y^p.What I've done so far :Deriving with respect to x and y:px^p-1 py^p-1Then:(px^(p-1))/(py^(p-1)) = (x/y)^(p-1)I'm lost after that. Please help me with steps

2. Consider the Cobb-Douglas utility function u(x,y) = x2y2. Let the budget 1, where pr, py are the prices and I denotes the constraint be prx + pyy income. (a) Write the Lagrangian for this utility maximization problem. (b) Solve the first-order conditions to find the demand functions for both good a and good y.

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,...

Joyce's utility function is as follows: U= 10X2Y3 Where, X, is the quantity of good X consumed, Y, is the quantity of good Y consumed and, U, is Joyce's utility function. The general budget constraint for the two goods is a follow: B=PxX + PYY A. Derive Joyce's Marshallian demand equation for good X. Also compute her demand for good X when B= 500, and the price of good X is 1 and 2. Also draw the Marshallian demand curve...
