Question 1104432: How do I find d, giving my answer as an integer?
The first three terms of the arithmetic sequence (in order) are
log ,base2,x / log ,base2, (x/2) / log ,base2, (x/4), where x > 0

log%282%2Cx%2F2%29=log%282%2Cx%29-log%282%2C2%29=log%282%2Cx%29-1
log%282%2Cx%2F4%29=log%282%2Cx%29-log%282%2C4%29=log%282%2Cx%29-2
The first three terms are
log%282%2Cx%29%22%2C%22 log%282%2Cx%29-1%22%2C%22 and log%282%2Cx%29-2 %22%2C%22
so the common difference that you must add to one term to get the next is
d=-2 .
