Consider a consumer with the Cobb-Douglas utility function U(q1,q2) =   , where q1 and q2 are the quantities of goods 1 and 2 consumed, respectively. This consumer derives a level of utility denoted by U0. The prices of goods 1 and 2 are denoted p1 and p2.
a.   Write out the Lagrangian for the consumer's expenditure minimization problem.
b.   Using the Lagrangian method, derive the consumer's (expenditure-minimizing) quantity of good 1 as functions of the variables p1, p2, and U0.
c.   Derive the consumer's expenditure function, E(p1, p2, U0).
