Solution

(a) Show that if f is homogeneous of degree α, then its partial derivatives are

homogeneous α-1


By (1) and (2), the partial derivatives of f are the homogeneous function with α-1

(b) Show that f is homogeneous of degree α if and only if

           

(*) First assume that f is homogeneous of degree α, then we obtained as following:

By (4) and (6), we obtain as following :

Do derivative both sides of equation respected to λ, then we obtained:

             

Then let λ=1, and the equation above become:

(b > 0) is known as an exponential function because the variable x appears as the exponent of the constant, or base, b. We can rule out negative values for the base to limit discussion to real numbers. Exponential functions are useful as they can be used to express proportionate rates of change in the variable y if it is measured at equal time Intervals where t measures the time interval. We can define the rate of proportionate change r...
