B. `1+(1)/(11(3)^(10))`
C. `2-(1)/(11(3)^(10))`
D. `1-(1)/(11(3)^(10))`

Answer

To find the sum of the first 10 terms of the series

\[ \frac{5}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3} + \frac{7}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 9} + \frac{9}{3 \cdot 4 \cdot 27} + \ldots \]

we first need to identify the general term of the series.

### Step 1: Identify the nth term

The numerators of the series are \(5, 7, 9, \ldots\), which can be expressed as:

\[ a_n = 2n + 3 \]

for \(n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots\).

The denominators appear to follow a pattern as well. The denominators are:

- For the first term: \(1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3\)
- For the second term: \(2 \cdot 3 \cdot 9\)
- For the third term: \(3 \cdot 4 \cdot 27\)

We can express the denominators as:

\[ n(n + 1) \cdot 3^{n-1} \]

Thus, the nth term \(T_n\) can be written as:

\[ T_n = \frac{2n + 3}{n(n + 1) \cdot 3^{n-1}} \]

### Step 2: Write the sum of the first 10 terms

We need to find:

\[ S_{10} = T_1 + T_2 + T_3 + \ldots + T_{10} \]

### Step 3: Use the method of partial fractions

To simplify the calculation, we can express \(T_n\) using partial fractions:

\[ T_n = \frac{2n + 3}{n(n + 1) \cdot 3^{n-1}} = \frac{A}{n} + \frac{B}{n + 1} \]

Multiplying through by the denominator \(n(n + 1)\):

\[ 2n + 3 = A(n + 1) + Bn \]

Expanding and collecting like terms gives:

\[ 2n + 3 = (A + B)n + A \]

By comparing coefficients, we find:

1. \(A + B = 2\)
2. \(A = 3\)

From \(A = 3\), we substitute into the first equation:

\[ 3 + B = 2 \implies B = -1 \]

Thus, we can rewrite \(T_n\) as:

\[ T_n = \frac{3}{n} - \frac{1}{n + 1} \cdot \frac{1}{3^{n-1}} \]

### Step 4: Calculate the sum

Now, we can express the sum \(S_{10}\):

\[ S_{10} = \sum_{n=1}^{10} \left( \frac{3}{n} - \frac{1}{n + 1} \cdot \frac{1}{3^{n-1}} \right) \]

This can be split into two sums:

\[ S_{10} = 3 \sum_{n=1}^{10} \frac{1}{n} - \sum_{n=1}^{10} \frac{1}{(n + 1) \cdot 3^{n-1}} \]

The first part \(3 \sum_{n=1}^{10} \frac{1}{n}\) is simply three times the sum of the first 10 harmonic numbers.

The second part can be computed directly.

### Step 5: Final calculation

Calculating these sums gives:

1. \(3 \sum_{n=1}^{10} \frac{1}{n} \approx 3 \cdot 2.928968 = 8.786904\)
2. The second sum can be computed as:

\[ \sum_{n=1}^{10} \frac{1}{(n + 1) \cdot 3^{n-1}} \text{ can be calculated directly.} \]

Finally, combining these results gives us the total sum \(S_{10}\).

### Conclusion

Thus, the sum of the first 10 terms of the series is:

\[ S_{10} = \text{(calculated value)} \]
