One method is to round 997 up to 1000, multiply by 8, and then subtract 8 times 3. This would give you the solution of 7976.
Another method (Which I personally wouldn't use) is to recursively double 997. This is more difficult, although effective. After you double 997, double the resulting number, and then double the resulting number from that, you have the solution. This is because 2^3 is 8.

Answer: -7 < x < 17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
Plug in the lower bound of the domain, which is x = -3
f(x) = 3x+2
f(-3) = 3(-3)+2
f(-3) = -9+2
f(-3) = -7
If x = -3, then the output is y = -7. Since f(x) is an increasing function (due to the positive slope), we know that y = -7 is the lower bound of the range.
If you plugged in x = 5, you should find that f(5) = 17 making this the upper bound of the range.
The range of f(x) is -7 < y < 17
Recall that the domain and range swap places when going from the original function f(x) to the inverse 
This swap happens because how x and y change places when determining the inverse itself. In other words, you go from y = 3x+2 to x = 3y+2. Solving for y gets us y = (x-2)/3 which is the inverse.
-----------------------
In short, we found the range of f(x) is -7 < y < 17.
That means the domain of the inverse is -7 < x < 17 since the domain and range swap roles when going from original to inverse.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term formula of a geometric sequence is
= a 
where a is the first term and r the common ratio
Using the second and fourth term, then
ar = 6 → (1)
ar³ = 54 → (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
=
= 9
r² = 9 ⇒ r =
= 3 → C
