The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \log_{3}(x) + \log_{3}(x^{1/3}) + \log_{3}(x^{1/9}) + \log_{3}(x^{1/27}) + \ldots = 6, \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the logarithmic terms Using the property of logarithms that states \(\log_{b}(a^c) = c \cdot \log_{b}(a)\), we can rewrite each term: \[ \log_{3}(x) + \frac{1}{3} \log_{3}(x) + \frac{1}{9} \log_{3}(x) + \frac{1}{27} \log_{3}(x) + \ldots \] This can be factored as: \[ \log_{3}(x) \left(1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{27} + \ldots\right). \] ### Step 2: Identify the series The series \(1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{27} + \ldots\) is a geometric series where the first term \(a = 1\) and the common ratio \(r = \frac{1}{3}\). ### Step 3: Sum the geometric series The sum \(S\) of an infinite geometric series can be calculated using the formula: \[ S = \frac{a}{1 - r} = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{3}{2}. \] ### Step 4: Substitute back into the equation Now substituting back into our equation, we have: \[ \log_{3}(x) \cdot \frac{3}{2} = 6. \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(\log_{3}(x)\) To isolate \(\log_{3}(x)\), we multiply both sides by \(\frac{2}{3}\): \[ \log_{3}(x) = 6 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = 4. \] ### Step 6: Convert from logarithmic form to exponential form Using the property of logarithms, we convert this to exponential form: \[ x = 3^{4}. \] ### Step 7: Calculate the value of \(x\) Calculating \(3^{4}\): \[ x = 81. \] Thus, the value of \(x\) is \[ \boxed{81}. \]
