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.
This is the curve which shows the unitary elastic demand where the change in quantity demanded equals with the change in price.
Unitary Elactic
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.
unitary elastic products are those with a supply and demand slope=1.
Unitary elastic is a demand whose elasticity is exactly equal to 1.
This is the curve which shows the unitary elastic demand where the change in quantity demanded equals with the change in price.

Unitary elastic is a demand whose elasticity is exactly equal to 1.
It means it is Unitary elastic.
The term unitary elastic is used in economics and is also known as unitary elastic demand or unitary elasticity. It is a measure that is used to show the elasticity of the amount demanded of a product to a change in the price of the product.
A unitary elastic graph represents a price elasticity of demand of 1, indicating that a change in price leads to an equal percentage change in quantity demanded.

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
The term "Unitary elastic" is used when the price elasticity of demand is equal to 1. For example, change in price from 10 to11 (+10%) causes change in quantity from 10 to 9 (-10%). 10%/10%=1. Unitary Elastic for the Elasticity of Demand is a proportionate change in price and quantity. This means that the reaction of consumers to price changes is stable and not dramatic like elastic products, and not small or no changes in quantity like inelastic products. It's in the middle of these two. As price goes up or down for unitary products, the total revenue from it stays relatively the same.
