In the slide, we're given the marginal utility (or the derivative of the utility function) as $m(x) = x^{-b}$. The utility function whose derivative is $m(x)$ is \begin{eqnarray*} u(x) = \int m(x) dx = \int x^{-b} dx = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{1- b} x^{1-b} & \text{when } b \neq 1 \\ \ln x & \text{when } b = 1 \end{cases} \end{eqnarray*} Verify ...
