उत्तर
D = 50 - 3p - p2
`therefore "dD"/"dp" = - 3 - 2p`
Elasticity of demand η
`= -"P"/"D" . "dD"/"dp"`
`= -"p"/(50 - 3"p" - "p"^2) xx (- 3 - 2"p")`
`= ((3 + 2"p")"p")/(50 - 3"p" - "p"^2)`
(a) When p = 5 , η = `65/10` = 6.5 > 1
∴ η is elastic.
(b) When p = 2 , η = `14/40 = 7/20 < 1`
∴ η is inelastic .

Find the value of x for which the function f(x)= 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2 is decreasing.
Given f(x) = 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2
∴ f'(x) = `squarex^2 - square + square`
∴ f'(x) = `6(x - 1)(square)`
Now f'(x) < 0
∴ 6(x – 1)(x – 2) < 0
Since ab < 0 ⇔a < 0 and b < 0 or a > 0 and b < 0
Case 1: (x – 1) < 0 and (x – 2) < 0
∴ x < `square` and x > `square`
Which is contradiction
Case 2: x – 1 and x – 2 < 0
∴ x > `square` and x < `square`
1 < `square` < 2
f(x) is decreasing if and only if x ∈ `square`
