Question: Suppose a quasilinear preference is represented by a utility function of the form u(x)=x1+(x2,...,xn). Show that the Hicksian demand functions for goods 2,.,n are independent
Suppose a quasilinear preference is represented by a utility function of the form u(x)=x1+(x2,...,xn). Show that the Hicksian demand functions for goods 2,.,n are independent of utility with and without assuming this function is differentiable, i.e. use the definition of quasilinear preference to prove.
