3. For each of the following demand curves:i) Find the price-elasticity of demand in terms of P.ii) Determine the range of P values for which the de-mand curve is perfectly elastic, elastic, unitary elas-tic, inelastic and perfectly inelastic (your answer willlook like, the demand is inelastic for 0 < P < 10,unitary elastic at P = 10, etc).iii) Calculate the price-elasticity of demand at P = 3and give an interpretation in words of what thatmeans in terms of percentages.E(a) Q(P) = 77 – 2P(b) Q(P) = 5P−½/(c) Q(P) = a - bP
