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?

(4 points) Part B: Calculate the interquartile range of the data, and explain in a sentence or two what it represents.
Answer:
I think it would be b
Step-by-step explanation:
He doesn't want to spend more than 50 and he needs 8 for lunch so the 8 dollars and the book can't go over 50.
Its either a or b im just not sure if its plus 8 or minus 8. sorry
This pic is the answer i believe
The slope of y= 1/2x-7 is always positive because since the slope of this equation is “1/2”, 1/2 is always positive.
