[edit: added lines to display -f(x) and constraint 1 at the solution point.]
Please carefully read the help for fmincon(). The name is short for "function minimization with constraints". Minimize the negative of your function. fmincon() can do exactly what you want, including the constraints. The examples in the help doc will be useful.
%vector x is what you want to find
fun = @(x)-5/3*x(1)^(3/44)*x(2)^(4/7)*x(3)^(3/40)*x(4)^(2/9)*x(5)^(1/6);
x0=[1,1,1,1,1]; %initial guess for the solution
%express first constraint in the form A*x<=b:
A=[17,20,10,0.4,1.5]; b=240;
%express constraints 2 and 3 by defining vectors lb and ub:
lb=[-Inf,-Inf,-Inf,-Inf,-Inf]; %no lower blound constraints
ub=[Inf,Inf,Inf,30,100]; %upper bounds on x(4),x(5)
x=fmincon(fun,x0,A,b,[],[],lb,ub);
disp(x) %value of x at the solution
disp(-fun(x)); %value of the function you wanted to maximize
disp(A*x') %check constraint 1
Note that constraint 1 is met exactly, constraint 2 is met exactly, and constraint 3 is not approached. Good luck.
