$$\underset{{k}={p}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}−{k}} =\mathrm{4}\left(\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}−{p}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}−\left({p}+\mathrm{1}\right)} +…\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{36}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}^{{p}} }+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}^{{p}+\mathrm{1}} }+…\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{36}\left(\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}^{{p}} }}{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{54}}{\mathrm{3}^{{p}} }=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{9}}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{3}^{{p}−\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{{p}−\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{3}} \Rightarrow{p}=\mathrm{5} \\ $$
