Since c=15 and d=3, we replace the c and d variables with 15 and 3.
0.5x15-1.7x3
0.5x15=7.5
1.7x3=5.1
Now subtract.
7.5-5.1=2.4

You would divide the total amount of $100,000.00 by the number of shares 2,500 to get the solution of $40.00 per share
It is a POINT. A single dot you can locate on a coordinate plane is a point.
A) =27.2
b) = 30.1
c) =31.2
d) =36.6
answer = D
Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.
3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0
Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.
In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.
To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have
4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as
4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)
Then
4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)
Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?
My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
