Hello,
I'm trying to understand how the range of w is determined. Per the non satiation property,
U'(w) =1+2dw must be greater than 0.
This implies that w>-1/2d.
But according to the notes, the range of w is defined as,
-inf<w<-1/2d
Both of the above ranges take into account that d<0. So why should the ranges in the above two differ?
