determinant ((,(1/3^0 ),(1/3^1 ),(1/3^2 ),(1/3^3 ),(...),(1/3^n ),Σ_(n=0) ^∞ ),((1/5^0 ),(1/(5^0 .3^0 )),(1/(5^0 .3^1 )),(1/(5^0 .3^2 )),(1/(5^0 .3^3 )),(...),(1/(5^0 .3^n )),((1/5^0 )Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (1/3^n ))),((1/5^1 ),(1/(5^1 .3^0 )),(1/(5^1 .3^1 )),(1/(5^1 .3^2 )),(1/(5^1 .3^3 )),(...),(1/(5^1 .3^n )),((1/5^1 )Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (1/3^n ))),((...),(...),(...),(...),(...),(...),(...),(...)),((1/5^m ),(1/(5^m .3^0 )),(1/(5^m .3^1 )),(1/(5^m .3^2 )),(1/(5^m .3^3 )),(...),(1/(5^m .3^n )),((1/5^m ) Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (1/3^n )))) so we get : ((1/5^0 )+(1/5^1 )+(1/5^2 )+...+(1/5^m )).Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (1/3^n ) = (Σ_(m=0) ^∞ (1/5^m )).(Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (1/3^n )) = (1/(1−(1/5))) .(1/(1−(1/3))) = ((15)/8)
