Q=20k^.75L^.25

Solve for L

For the life of me I can't remember how to deal with fractions of exponents!

I keep getting L=(Q/20k^.75)^4

But I'm pretty sure it's not right cause it isn't computing the cost curves correctly.

It needs to be done algebraically

Your original answer L=(Q/20k^.75)^4 is correct.

Okay thanks a million. I had something else messed up on my spreadsheet cause no matter how I solved it that's what I got.
