Question

Find the elasticity of demand (E) for the given demand function at the indicated values of p. Is the demand elastic, inelastic, or neither at the indicated values? q = 404 - 0.2p^2 a. $25 b. $39 a. E = 0.896 (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed.) a. The demand is inelastic. b. E = 6.096 (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed.) b. The demand is elastic.
