Study from your own course material
Upload the slides, scripts and handouts from your course and ask questions the way you would ask a classmate. UpAsk answers only from your material, not from the internet, and cites the page each part of the answer comes from, so you study what your lecturer actually taught.

Price elasticity of demand
Ed = (% change in quantity demanded) / (% change in price)
|Ed| > 1: elastic demand. |Ed| < 1: inelastic demand.
Page 12
How do I calculate price elasticity of demand, and when is demand elastic?
Divide the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. Demand is elastic when the absolute value is greater than 1 and inelastic when it is below 1.

Good to know

- Narrow a chat to one lecture when you want answers from that lecture only.
- Formulas in scanned slides are read as text, so check the cited page for anything you will learn by heart.
Questions
Will UpAsk use information from the internet?
No. It answers from the documents in your workspace. If your material doesn't cover a question, it says so.
Can it read scanned handouts?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are read page by page. Handwriting and low-quality scans are less reliable, and UpAsk shows which pages may be hard to read.
Is there a free plan for students?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 documents and 30 questions a month. Personal adds 50 documents and 500 questions a month.
Plans and limits are on the pricing section; more answers in Help.
