Elasticity The demand function for a product is given by $p=20-0.02 x, \quad 0<x<1000$. (a) Find the price elasticity of demand when $x=560$. (b) Find the values of $x$ and $p$ that maximize the total revenue. (c) For the value of $x$ found in part (b), show that the price elasticity of demand has unit elasticity.

Business and Economics Applications
Given the demand function $$ Q=\frac{P_{\mathrm{A}} Y^{2}}{P} $$ where $P_{A}=10, Y=2$ and $P=4$, find the income elasticity of demand. If $P_{A}$ and $P$ are fixed, estimate the percentage change in $Y$ needed to raise $Q$ by $2 \%$.
Partial Differentiation
