If a price-demand equation is solved for p, then price is expressed as p=g(x) and x becomes the independent variable. In this case, it can be shown that the elasticity of demand is given by E(x)=−g(x)xg′(x). Use the price-demand equation below to find the values of x for which demand is elastic and for which demand is inelastic. p=g(x)=240−0.6x Demand is elastic for all x in the interval _________ Demand is inelastic for all x in the interval__________

Question
If a price-demand equation is solved for p, then price is expressed as
p=g(x)
and x becomes the independent variable. In this case, it can be shown that the elasticity of demand is given by
E(x)=−g(x)xg′(x).
Use the price-demand equation below to find the values of x for which demand is elastic and for which demand is inelastic.p=g(x)=240−0.6x
Demand is elastic for all x in the interval _________
Demand is inelastic for all x in the interval__________
