If the price and quantity change in the same direction is supply or demand changing?

Both supply and demand must be changing, and not necessarily in the same direction. The fact that the quantity of something is changing tells you that the supply has changed. The fact that the value of something is changing in the same direction as its changing supply tells you that the demand must also be changing.
For instance; Imagine that you have 1000 pencils to sell to 1000 people for $10 per pencil (everone needs one and only one, so they will pay). If you lost half of your pencils, the supply has decreased and now stands at 500 pencils. The only way for the price of the pencils ($10 dollars each) to decrease (as did the supply/quantity), is for the number of people who want pencils (demand) to also decrease to less than 500 people. If the demand didn't change, the value of the pencils would have to rise (the opposite of what the supply did), since there would be more people who want pencils, than there are pencils to sell them.

What would cause quantity demanded to change without changing the demand curve?
A change in the price of a substitute good
The primary difference between a change in demand and a change in the quantity demanded is?
a change in demand is a movement along the demand curve, and a change in quantity demanded is a shift in the demand curve
What different between change in demand and change in quantity demand?
Change in demand is subjective, it could be increase or decrease in the qauntity of good or services asked for, while change in quantity demand is objective, it refers to actual quantity/amount of good or seevices requested /demanded .
What is the Four determinants of price elasticity of demand?
perfectly elastic demand the quantity change by infinitely large amount proportion due to the small change in price, is called perfectly elastic demand. perfectly inelastic demand the quantity demand doesn't change at all due to the change in price is called perfectly inelastic demand. relatively elastic demand the quantity demand changes by a little more percentage than the change in price is called relatively elastic demand. relatively inelastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is less than the percentage change change in its price is called relatively inelastic demand unitary elastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is equal to the percentage change in price is called unitary elastic demand
A change in demand is shown as a?
a table of bprices and quantity demand.

State the factors causing the change in quantity demand?
change in life style also causes change in quantity demand for eg: in 1960's formal wear were in demand but with change in style nowadays denim wear in demand.
A shift in the demand curve is called?
A change in quantity demanded
When quantity demand is changing what variables are held constant?
non price determinants of demand are held constant
When the percent change in price is equal to the percent change in quantity demanded then demand is said to be?
When the percentage change in price is equal to the percentage change in quantity demanded then demand is said to be unit elastic. There are 3 kinds of price elasticity of demand.
How you can find price elasticity of demand if quantity of demand and price is given?
by the formula : %changge in quantity demanded/% change in price of good
Distinguish between a change in demand and a change in quantity demanded?
This is based on the principle of an economics demand curve. A change in quantity continues to move along the same demand curve, whereas a change in demand shifts it either to the left or right of the original line. A change in the quantity or amount demanded is brought about by a change in the price of the item. For example, a price hike or sale. A change in demand on the other hand, is caused by other variables such as a change in tastes, income or competition from related goods.
What is demand side?
When the price changes, we call the resulting change in buying plan a Change in the quantity of demand. On the other hand, Change in demand is a change in the quantity that people plan to buy when any influence on buying plans other than the price of good changes.
