24(x)^8=384
taking log base 2 of each side.
8 log2 x=log2 (384/24)
x= sqrt 2

8 log2 x=log2 (384/24)

You appear to be missing information. Looking at "Similar Questions" below, it was stated that you had a geometric sequence.
So U7 = 24 ---> ar^6 = 24 and U15 = 384 ---> ar^14 = 384
divide one equation by the other:
ar^14/(ar^6) = 384/24
r^8 = 16
r = ± √2
if r = +√2 , a(8) = 24 , a = 3
and <b>Un = 3(√2)^n</b>
using r = - √2 , we could also have Un = 3(-√2)^n
