How to solve a multivariable function with restriction

Hello, I would like to know how to solve the next function:

u(x,y,z,w,t)=(x^0.21*y^0.26*z^0.21*w^0.14*t^0.18)

with the following restriction:

25x+30y+25z+31.775w+30t=8000

I understand that you want to find the function value with other conditions satisfying. You can use Symbolic Math Toolbox to do this.

syms x y z w t u(x,y,z,w,t)
u(x,y,z,w,t)=(x^0.21*y^0.26*z^0.21*w^0.14*t^0.18)

f = 25*x+30*y+25*z+31.775*w+30*t==8000

You can find the variables satisfying above conditions using “solve” function

sol = solve(f, {x, y, z, w, t},'ReturnConditions',true)

As the given condition have infinite possible variables, It will return the variable values in parametric form If 'ReturnConditions' parameter is set to true. You will obtain a single solution from the infinite possible solutions if the parameter is set to false (default).

You can obtain value of function by directly substituting the solution obtained.

u(sol.x, sol.y, sol.z, sol.w, sol.t)

You can refer to the solve documentation for more understanding.

Thank you very much, this was really helpful for my Economics assignment.
