Question:
Given the utility function U(W) = 10W1/2, wherein W = payoff,
(a) Graph the function.
(b) Does the function exhibit risk aversion? What is your criterion?
(c) How will changing the constant term 10 to an arbitrary number a affect the answer to parts
(a) and (b)? (i.e., by assuming that a is greater or less than 0, what different result will we get?)
