Find (a) the elasticity of demand and (b) the range of prices for which the demand is elastic (E , -1). f(p) = 200(30 - p)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

elasticity of demand = \[\frac{ change \in Q }{ change \in P }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we differentiate f(p) we ll have the elasticity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f \prime(p)=-2000\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u show it? i'm confused :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not sure but it is the only possible solution i see here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you the answer is f'(p) = 2000 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 can u help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

@zepdrix can u help?
