Take ln to both sides
ln 14^x = ln 5
then you'll get
x ln 14 = ln 5
divide both sides by ln 14
x = 0.6098533345
after rounding
x = 0.6099
Answer: a) = 10
b) = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
a) as x = 5 so putting the value of x in given equation
5 multiplied by 2 is equal to 10
b) Putting value of x in given equation
= (5 + 3) 2
According to BODMAS solve the brackets first
= 8 x 2
= 16
I think what you mean is:

Then using our rules of exponents, this is the same as
Let [a, b] = the interval
The average rate of change can be found by using [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a).
Let a = 1 and b = 5.
Let R = rate of change
17- x^2
R = [17 - 5^2] - [17 - 1^2]/(5 - 1)
R = [17 - 25] -[17 - 1]/4
R = [(-8) - (16)]/4
R = (-24)/4
R = -6
Done.
