When demand curve is rectangular Hyperbola the elasticity of demand will be?
Unitary Elactic
Is the price elasticity constant along the demand curve?
Price elasticity of demand is equal to the instantaneous slope of the demand curve, or the slope of the tangent line at any point on the demand curve. So if the demand curve is represented by a straight downward sloping line, then yes, price elasticity of demand is equal to the slope of the demand curve. Otherwise, the slope at any point on the curve is changing, and you can find the it by taking the derivative of the demand curve function, which will find the Price elasticity of demand at any single point. Thus, the Price Elasticity of Demand changes at different points on the demand curve.
How does a change in price on a linear demand curve affect total revenue?
on the linear demand curve, demand is elastic at price above the point of unitary elasticity so a price increase will decrease the total revenue.
Why does unitary elastic demand curve is a rectangular hyperbola?
we know from total expenditure method of measuring elasticity of demand that if total expenditure remains the same when price changes, elasticity is unitary. rectangular hyperbola is a curve under which all rectangular areas are equal. also, each rectangular area shows total expenditure on the commodity. along the curve, even if price changes, total expenditure remains the same, so rectangular hyperbola shows the elasticity of 1.
Difference between arc and point elasticity?
1) Point elasticity is measured by the ratio of the lower segment of the curve below the given point to uppa segment the super part of the curve above the point. 2) Arc elasticity is measured by the use of mid point between the old & the new figures in the case of both prine and qualitiy demonded.

Given the demand curve that is a rectangular hyperbola with a demand function of the form Q equals 1 over P Show that the point of elestacity will be unitary throughout the demand curve?
Assuming that the given demand curve is a rectangular hyperbola, total expenditure (i.e. rectangular area or Q*P) is the same for each point on the length of the curve. Next we use the demand function to determine the total expenditure value as Q=1/P=>Q*P=1, and we have consequently a demand curve of unitary elasticity.
Is price elasticity constant along demand curves?
explain why the price elasticity of demand varies along a demand curve, even if the demand curve is linear.
How does elasticity vary along a straight-line demand curve?
Elasticity varies along a straight-line demand curve by being different at different points. At the top of the curve, elasticity is more elastic, meaning small changes in price lead to larger changes in quantity demanded. At the bottom of the curve, elasticity is less elastic, meaning changes in price have less impact on quantity demanded.
3 Why is it difficult to judge the price elasticity of demand if you are merely observing the appearance of a demand curve on a graph?
Because elasticity is changes depending on the price it is evaluated at. This will then mean that elasticity is different at different point on a demand curve. It can also depend on the scale the demand curve is drawn to
What is difference between slope and the calculation of elasticity for a linear demand curve?
Along a linear demand curve elasticity varies from point to point of the demand curve with respect to different price, but slope is constant
Why The horizontal axis of a demand curve displays?
elasticity
What is rectangular hyperbola demand curve?
This is the curve which shows the unitary elastic demand where the change in quantity demanded equals with the change in price.
