RELATIVE AND PERCENTAGE RATES OF CHANGE The RELATIVE RATE OF CHANGE of a function f(x) is f'(x) f(x). The PERCENTAGE RATE OF CHANGE is 100 f'(x) f(x). 2. ELASTICITY OF DEMAND If rice and demand are related by x f(), then the ELASTICITY OF DEMAND is given by E() - f'() f() 198 CHAPTER 4 ADDITIONAL DERIVATIVE TOPICS
3. INTERPRETATION OF ELASTICITY OF DEMAND E() Demand Interretation 0 < E() < 1 Inelastic Demand is not sensitive to changes in rice. A change in rice roduces a smaller change in demand. E() > 1 Elastic Demand is sensitive to changes in rice. A change in rice roduces a larger change in demand. E() 1 Unit A change in rice roduces the same change in demand. 4. REVENUE AND ELASTICITY OF DEMAND If R() f() is the revenue function, then R'() and [1 - E()] always have the same sign. Demand is inelastic [E() < 1, R'() > 0]: A rice increase will increase revenue. A rice decrease will decrease revenue. Demand is elastic [E() > 1, R'() < 0]: A rice increase will decrease revenue. A rice decrease will increase revenue. 1. f(x) 25 f (x) 0 Relative rate of change of f: f "(x) f(x) 0 25 0 3. f(x) 30x f (x) 30 Relative rate of change of f: f "(x) f(x) 30 30x 1 x 5. f(x) 10x + 500 f'(x) 10 Relative rate of change of f: f'(x) f(x) 10 10x + 500 1 x + 50 7. f(x) 100x - 0.5x 2 f'(x) 100 - x Relative rate of change of f: f'(x) f(x) 100! x 100x! 0.5x 2 9. f(x) 4 + 2e -2x f'(x) -4e -2x Relative rate of change of f: f'(x) f(x)!4e!2x 4 + 2e!2x - 2e!2x 2 + e!2x " e 2x e 2x - 2 1 + 2e 2x EXERCISE 4-7 199
