Expert Solution
Step 1

The mathematical relationship between the quantity demanded of a product or service that consumers are willing to buy and have the ability to pay for and factors that influence demand, such as price, price of related goods, income, and preferences is known as a demand function.

It is used by economists or economic agents to estimate consumer behavior and make informed decisions about pricing, production, and distribution.
