Let 729,81,9,1,…729,81,9,1, \ldots729,81,9,1,… be a sequence and Pn\mathrm{P}_{n}Pn​ denote the product of the first nnn terms of this sequence.

If 2∑n=140(Pn)1n=3α−13β\displaystyle 2 \sum_{n=1}^{40}\left(\mathrm{P}_{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}=\frac{3^{\alpha}-1}{3^{\beta}}2n=1∑40​(Pn​)n1​=3β3α−1​ and gcd⁡(α,β)=1\operatorname{gcd}(\alpha, \beta)=1gcd(α,β)=1,
