Question
Find the rate of change of demand (x) of a commodity with respect to its price (y) if y = 18x + log(x - 4).

Solution
y = 18x + log(x - 4)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get
`"dy"/"dx" = "d"/"dx"`[18x + log(x - 4)]
`= "d"/"dx" (18"x") + "d"/"dx"`[log (x - 4)]
`= 18 + 1/("x - 4") * "d"/"dx"`(x - 4)
`= 18 + 1/("x - 4") * (1 - 0)`
`= 18 + 1/"x - 4"`
`= (18 ("x - 4") + 1)/("x - 4")`
`= (18"x" - 72 + 1)/("x - 4")`
∴ `"dy"/"dx" = (18"x" - 71)/("x - 4")`
Now, by a derivative of inverse function, the rate of change of demand (x) w.r.t. price (y) is
`"dx"/"dy" = 1/("dy"/"dx")`, where `"dy"/"dx" ne 0`.
i.e. `"dx"/"dy" = 1/((18"x" - 71)/("x - 4")) = ("x - 4")/(18"x" - 71)`

Solution: Let y = 20 + 15x + x3
Diff. w.r.to x, we get
`("d"y)/("d"x) = square + square + square`
∴ `("d"y)/("d"x)` = 15 + 3x2
∴ By derivative of the inverse function,
`("d"x)/("d"y) 1/square, ("d"y)/("d"x) ≠ 0`
∴ Rate of change of demand with respect to price = `1/(square + square)`
