Suppose the demand for bicycles is given byQp = 10,000P- and the supply of bicycles is given by Qs = 0.01P3. (a) Using calculus and the given supply and demand curves, find mathematical expressions for the elasticities of demand and supply as a function of the price. Use these expressions to demonstrate that both curves have constant elasticity along their entire length. (b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market mathematically.
