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.
