Using calculus, show that not all goods can be inferior. (Hint. start with the identity that Y=p1q1p2q2 dots pNqN.) Note that dYdY=p1dq1dYp2dq2dY dots pNdqNdY.
A. Although dYdY=1, at least one pi can be negative, which means at least one good, good i, is not inferior.
B. Because dYdY=0, at least one dqidY must be positive, which means at least one good, good i, is not inferior.
C. Because dYdY=1, at least one dqidY must be positive, which means at least one good, good i, is not inferior.
D. Although dYdY=1, at least one dqidY can be negative, which means at least one good, good i, is not inferior.
E. Because dYdY=1, at least one p1 must be positive, which means at least one good, good i, is not inferior.
