For a real number $x$, if $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\log _{3}\left(2^{x}-9\right)}{\log _{3} 4}$, and $\frac{\log _{5}\left(2^{x}+\frac{17}{2}\right)}{\log _{5} 4}$ are in an arithmetic progression, then the common difference is

If y is a negative number such that $2^{y^2log_3 5} = 5^{\log_2 3}$, then y equals

The number of distinct integer values of n satisfying $\frac{4-\log_2 n}{3-\log_4 n} < 0$, is
