If $x=1+\sqrt[{6}]{2}+\sqrt[{6}]{4}+\sqrt[{6}]{8}+\sqrt[{6}]{16}+\sqrt[{6}]{32}$ then ${\Bigg{(}1+\frac{1}{x}\Bigg{)}}^{24}$ =

Solution

Given:

\[ x = 1 + 2^{1/6} + 4^{1/6} + 8^{1/6} + 16^{1/6} + 32^{1/6} \]

Step 1: Write in powers of \( a = 2^{1/6} \)

\[ x = 1 + a + a^2 + a^3 + a^4 + a^5 = 1 + \frac{a(a^5 - 1)}{a - 1} \]

Step 2: Use identity \( a^6 = 2 \Rightarrow a^5 = \frac{2}{a} \)

\[ x = 1 + \frac{2 - a}{a - 1} = \frac{1}{a - 1} \Rightarrow 1 + \frac{1}{x} = a \Rightarrow \left(1 + \frac{1}{x} \right)^{24} = a^{24} \]

Step 3: Final calculation

\[ a = 2^{1/6} \Rightarrow a^{24} = (2^{1/6})^{24} = 2^4 = \boxed{16} \]

✅ Final Answer: $\boxed{16}$
