Question
  1. The demand equation for the Roland portable hair dryer is given by

x = 1/5(225-p^2)        ( 0 ≤ p ≤ 15)

where x (measured in units of a hundred) is the quantity demanded per week and p is the unit price in dollars.

  1. Is the demand elastic or inelastic when p = 8?
  2. Is the demand elastic or inelastic when p = 10?
  3. When is the demand unitary? Round the answer to two decimal places. (Hint: Solve E(t) = 1 for p).

 

The demand equation for the Roland portable hair dryer is given by
(225 – p?)
