If 1, $${\log _9}\,\,({3^{1 - x}} + 2),\,\,{\log _3}\,\,({4.3^x} - 1)$$ are in A.P. then x equals

l, m, n are the $${p^{th}}$$, $${q^{th}}$$ and $${r^{th}}$$ term of a G.P all positive, $$then\,\left| {\matrix{ {\log \,l} & p & 1 \cr {\log \,m} & q & 1 \cr {\log \,n} & r & 1 \cr } } \right|\,equals$$

The value of $$\,{2^{1/4}}.\,\,{4^{1/8}}.\,{8^{1/16}}...\infty $$ is

Fifth term of a GP is 2, then the product of its 9 terms is
