I didn't understand how the Utility function represents a linear function when it has exponents. (see picture)

HI A,

Please use the form under "forum" next time. This is an old forum here simply for reference. 

This is a monotonic transformation of perfect substitutes, which is why it has an exponent but is still linear.

Best,
Taylor
