Question

Consider the utility function u(x1,x2)=4x1x2. Which of the following mathematical expressions represents an indifference curve associated with this function?

Group of answer choices
a. x2=4x1
b. x2=1/x1
c. x2=4−x1
d. x2=4+x1

Answer 1

The indifference curve associated with the utility function u(x1, x2) = 4x1x2 is represented by the mathematical expression x2 = 4 / x1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The utility function given is u(x1, x2) = 4x1x2. To find an indifference curve associated with this function, we need to find combinations of x1 and x2 that yield the same level of utility. Indifference curves can be represented by mathematical expressions that equate utility values. In this case, the correct mathematical expression representing the indifference curve is x2 = 4 / x1.
