14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)
Take the log of both sides:
7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.
Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17
Then:
-8*log 17
x= -------------------------- (answer)
7*log 14 + log 17
Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
The values go up by 2. So your answer would be 20.
Answer: proportional
Step-by-step explanation: it is proportional because you can multiply any number by 7
