The Physics Club sells E = mc² T-shirts at the local flea market. Unfortunately, the club's previous administration has been losing money for years, so you decide to do an analysis of the sales. A quadratic regression based on old sales data reveals the following demand equation for the T-shirts: q = -2p2 + 33p (9 sps 15). Here, p is the price the club charges per T-shirt, and g is the number it can sell each day at the flea market. (a) Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand for E = mc? T-shirts. E = (b) Compute the elasticity of demand if the price is set at $9 per shirt. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Interpret the result.
