51. The demand function for a good is given as follows: \[ Q=3200 \cdot 0.5 p^{2} \] Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the price p \( <80 \) Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the prices \( p=20 ; p=50 \) and explain.

Answer the following questions for the price-demand equation. p + 0.001x = 40 (B) Find the elasticity of demand, E(p). E(p) = (C) What is the elasticity of demand when p = 15? The elasticity of demand when p = 15 is . (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) If the price is increased by 20%, what is the approximate change in demand? The demand approximately %.

In this problem, p is in dollars and q is the number of units. Suppose that the demand for a product is given by pq + p + 100q = 50,000. (a) Find the elasticity when p = $401. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) Tell what type of elasticity this is. Demand is elastic. Demand is inelastic. Demand is unitary elastic. (c) How would a price increase affect revenue? Revenue is unaffected by price. An increase in price will result in a decrease in total revenue. An increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue.
