उत्तर
The demand function, x = `25/"p"^4`, 1 ≤ p ≤ 5
The elasticity demand, ηd = `- "p"/x * "dx"/"dp"`
x = `25/"p"^4`
x = 25 × p-4
`"dx"/"dp" = (25)(-4)"p"^(-4-1)`
`= 25 xx -4 xx "p"^(-5)`
`= 25 xx (-4)xx1/"p"^5`
Hint for differentiation
`"d"/"dx"(1/"x"^"n") = "-n"/("x"^("n + 1"))`
x = `25/"p"^4`
`"dx"/"dp" = 25((-4)/"p"^5)`
∴ ηd = `- "p"/x * "dx"/"dp"`
`= (-"p")/(25/"p"^4) xx 25 xx (-4)xx1/"p"^5`
`= (-"p"^5)/25 xx 25 xx (-4) xx 1/"p"^5` = 4
