Chino has a quasi-linear utility function given by U(x1, X2) = x₁ + 6x2, where prices of goods 1 and 2 are given by p₁ and p2, respectively. If Chino's budget is given by m, • Solve for the utility-maximizing quantities of x₁, x2, and > • Find the maximum utility. • Show that the change in maximum utility due to a peso change in income m is equal to the La- grange multiplier you got in the first bullet.
