ELASTICITYELASTICITY
Measurement of elasticity: point elasticity the formula for price elasticity of demand
dQ/dP x P/Q
the elasticity of a straight-line demand ‘curve’ (constant dQ/dP)
the elasticity of a curved demand curve
dQ/dP is the tangent to the curve
different elasticities along a straight-line demand curve
