Question
For each demand equation compute the elasticity of demand and determine whether the demand is elastic, unitary, or inelastic at the indicated price.$$x=-\frac{5}{4} p+20 ; p=10$$
Step 1
The given demand equation is $x=-\frac{5}{4} p+20$. Differentiating this with respect to $p$, we get $\frac{dx}{dp}=-\frac{5}{4}$. Show more…
