Question
Find the marginal demand of a commodity where demand is x and price is y.
y = `("x + 2")/("x"^2 + 1)`
Solution
y = `("x + 2")/("x"^2 + 1)`
Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get
`"dy"/"dx" = "d"/"dx"(("x + 2")/("x"^2 + 1))`
`= (("x"^2 + 1) * "d"/"dx"("x + 2") - ("x + 2") * "d"/"dx" ("x"^2 + 1))/("x"^2 + 1)^2`
`= (("x"^2 + 1)(1 + 0) - ("x + 2")("2x" + 0))/("x"^2 + 1)^2`
`= (("x"^2 + 1)(1) - ("x + 2")("2x"))/("x"^2 + 1)^2`
`= ("x"^2 + 1 - 2"x"^2 - 4"x")/("x"^2 + 1)^2`
∴ `"dy"/"dx" = (1 - "4x" - "x"^2)/("x"^2 + 1)^2`
Now, by derivative of inverse function, the marginal demand of a commodity is
`"dx"/"dy" = 1/("dy"/"dx")`, where `"dy"/"dx" ne 0`
i.e., `"dx"/"dy" = 1/((1 - 4"x" - "x"^2)/("x"^2 + 1)^2) = ("x"^2 + 1)^2/(1 - 4"x" - "x"^2)`

The rate of change of demand (x) of a commodity with respect to its price (y), if y = 20 + 15x + x3.
Solution: Let y = 20 + 15x + x3
Diff. w.r.to x, we get
`("d"y)/("d"x) = square + square + square`
∴ `("d"y)/("d"x)` = 15 + 3x2
∴ By derivative of the inverse function,
`("d"x)/("d"y) 1/square, ("d"y)/("d"x) ≠ 0`
∴ Rate of change of demand with respect to price = `1/(square + square)`
