Final Answer: \( \boxed{4.166786655943784} \)

Steps

Step 1 :The logarithm of a quotient is equal to the difference of the logarithms of the numerator and the denominator. Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as \( \ln(e^7) - \ln(17) \).

Step 2 :The logarithm base e of e to the power of a number is just that number. Therefore, \( \ln(e^7) \) simplifies to 7.

Step 3 :The final expression is \( 7 - \ln(17) \).

Step 4 :Calculate the value of the expression to get the final answer.

Step 5 :Final Answer: \( \boxed{4.166786655943784} \)
