Use the price–demand equation to determine whether demand is elastic, is inelastic, or has unit elasticity at the indicated
values of p.
x = f(p) = 1500 – 5p2; p = 10
A publishing company has published a new magazine for young adults. The monthly sales S (in
thousands) is given by S(t) =800t
t + 2 , where t is the number of months since the first issue was
