If lo g 2 n is an integer then
i = 1 ∏ lo g 2 n ( x 2 i n + 1 ) = x − C x A − B
where A , B , and C are positive integers. Find lo g 2 A + B + C for n = 2 9 2 .

x − 1 x n − 1 can be written as x − 1 ( x 2 n − 1 ) ( x 2 n + 1 )
if n is a power of 2 and we keep continuing this process eventually the (x-1) in denominator will cancel leaving a product of the form in the question. the number of times this iteration happens depends on lo g 2 n . therefore the product in question is = x − 1 x n − 1 Answer becomes 92+1+1=94
This product is also the sum of geometric series with ratio x from 1 to x n − 1
@Amal Hari , do not need to use \dfrac all over the place just use \frac for exponents. Exponents need no brackets. I will edit for you. But all formula in Latex such as n = 2 9 2 , = x − 1 x n − 1 and 9 2 + 1 + 1 = 9 4 .

Given that
k = 1 ∏ lo g 2 n ( x 2 k n + 1 ) = k = 1 ∏ m ( x 2 k 2 m + 1 ) = k = 1 ∏ m ( x 2 m − k + 1 ) = ( x 2 m − 1 + 1 ) ( x 2 m − 2 + 1 ) ( x 2 m − 3 + 1 ) ⋯ ( x + 1 ) = ( x + 1 ) ( x 2 + 1 ) ( x 4 + 1 ) ⋯ ( x 2 m − 1 + 1 ) = x − 1 ( x − 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ( x 2 + 1 ) ( x 4 + 1 ) ⋯ ( x 2 m − 1 + 1 ) = x − 1 ( x 2 − 1 ) ( x 2 + 1 ) ( x 4 + 1 ) ( x 8 + 1 ) ⋯ ( x 2 m − 1 + 1 ) = x − 1 ( x 4 − 1 ) ( x 4 + 1 ) ( x 8 + 1 ) ( x 1 6 + 1 ) ⋯ ( x 2 m − 1 + 1 ) = ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ = x − 1 x 2 m − 1 = x − 1 x n − 1 Let m = lo g 2 n ⟹ n = 2 m
Therefore, A = n and B = C = 1 . For n = 2 9 2 ⟹ lo g 2 A + B + C = 9 2 + 1 + 1 = 9 4 .
