Problem 52

In each pair of equations, one is true and one is false. Choose the correct one. $$ \begin{array}{l} \ln (x+y)=\ln x \cdot \ln y \\ \text { or } \ln (x \cdot y)=\ln x+\ln y . \end{array} $$

Problem 52

Show that for a demand function of the form \(D(p)=c / p^{n}\), where \(c\) and \(n\) are positive constants, the elasticity is constant. b. What type of demand function has elasticity equal to 1 for every value of \(p\) ?

Problem 53

In each pair of equations, one is true and one is false. Choose the correct one. $$ \frac{\ln x}{\ln y}=\ln (x-y) \quad \text { or } \quad \ln \frac{x}{y}=\ln x-\ln y $$
