Question

In mathematics, the elasticity or point elasticity of a positive differentiable function f of a positive variable (positive input, positive output)[1] at point a is defined as[2] using functions and their derivatives

Ef(a) = \frac{a}{f(a)}f'(a)

meaning in words: [...]

Answer
It is thus the ratio of the relative (percentage) change in the function's output \(f(a)\) with respect to the relative change in its input \(a\), for infinitesimal changes from a point (a, f(a)).

Equivalently, it is the ratio of the infinitesimal change of the logarithm of a function with respect to the infinitesimal change of the logarithm of the argument. The elasticity of a function is a constant if and only if the function has the form for a constant . The elasticity at a point is the limit of the arc elasticity between two points as
