"Elasticity of demand" is the economic term for how much of something people want. If demand is inelastic, people will buy the same amount at any price (think insulin--a diabetic needs it and so will buy it at any price.). If demand is elastic, the price greatly affects how much people will buy (concert tickets for a B-rate band: the higher the price, the less people will come). This is very generalized: the topic is very complex and confusing when explained in economic terms. Recently the demand for gas, which used to be inelastic, has become elastic. The price has raised too high for people to keep buying what they usually did, and so travel plans have been curtailed due to this and less gas has been puchased. Even more recently, gas prices have lowered again, but demand cannot yet be said to be inelastic again. Altogether, inelastic demand does not affect supply, while elastic demand does.
It's an elasticity coefficient of demand: deltaD/deltaP When the coefficient is >1 it is an elastic demand When the coefficient is <1 it is a nonelastic demand
Unitary is a reference to the type of demand elasticity. Unitary demand elasticity occurs when the elasticity of demand = 1. This indicates that the level of demand changes in-sync with the price at a 1:1 ratio.
1)price elasticity of demand 2)income elasticity of demand 3)cross elasticity of demand
Unitary elasticity is when the price elasticity of demand is exactly equal to one.
distinguish between price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand

When price increases by 1%, demand falls by 3%.
Because elasticity is changes depending on the price it is evaluated at. This will then mean that elasticity is different at different point on a demand curve. It can also depend on the scale the demand curve is drawn to
there are three methods of measuring elasticity of demand
I am at a loss for the answer please help me.
In economics , the cross elasticity of demand and cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demand of a good to a change in the price of another good.
is the long run elasticity of demand is ever smaller than the short run elasticity of demand.
