Step 1: Simplify Higher Power Components

Break down 3⁵¹$3^{51}$ using 3³ = 27 ≡ 4 23$3^3 = 27 \equiv 4 \pmod{23}$:

So the expression becomes:

Since 81 ≡ 12 23$81 \equiv 12 \pmod{23}$:

Dividing 60 by 23 (23 × 2 = 46$23 \times 2 = 46$) yields a remainder of: 60 - 46 = 14$60 - 46 = 14$

For a term to be rational in (2+√(3))⁸$(2+\sqrt{3})^8$, the power of √(3)$\sqrt{3}$ must be an even integer[cite: 1218]. Thus, r$r$ can only take even values from 0$0$ to 8$8$

Step 1: Calculating individual rational terms

Sum up terms explicitly for all valid values of r$r$ :

Compute the individual numeric values :

• r=0: 1 · 256 = 256$r=0: 1 \cdot 256 = 256$
• r=2: 28 · 64 · 3 = 5376$r=2: 28 \cdot 64 \cdot 3 = 5376$
• r=4: 70 · 16 · 9 = 10080$r=4: 70 \cdot 16 \cdot 9 = 10080$
• r=28 · 4 · 27 = 3024$r=28 \cdot 4 \cdot 27 = 3024$
• r=8: 1 · 1 · 81 = 81$r=8: 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 81 = 81$

Notice that the sum of all rational terms can also be viewed as the rational part of the expanded configuration, equivalent to (2+√(3))⁸ + (2-√(3))⁸2$\frac{(2+\sqrt{3})^8 + (2-\sqrt{3})^8}{2}$.

Split the given series summation into two independent parts [cite: 1316]: Sum = Σr=1⁹ (r)/(2^r) · ⁹Cᵣ + 3Σr=1⁹ (1)/(2^r) · ⁹Cᵣ$$\text{Sum} = \sum_{r=1}^9 \frac{r}{2^r} \cdot {^9C_r} + 3\sum_{r=1}^9 \frac{1}{2^r} \cdot {^9C_r}$$ [cite: 1316]

Simplify the first sub-sum using the index relation r · ⁹Cᵣ = 9 · ⁸Cᵣ₋₁$r \cdot {^9C_r} = 9 \cdot {^8C_{r-1}}$ [cite: 1316]: Σr=1⁹ (9)/(2^r) · ⁸Cᵣ₋₁ = (9)/(2)Σr=1⁹ ⁸Cᵣ₋₁((1)/(2))r-1 = (9)/(2)(1 + (1)/(2))⁸ = (9)/(2)((3)/(2))⁸$$\sum_{r=1}^9 \frac{9}{2^r} \cdot {^8C_{r-1}} = \frac{9}{2}\sum_{r=1}^9 {^8C_{r-1}}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r-1} = \frac{9}{2}\left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)^8 = \frac{9}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^8$$ [cite: 1316]

Simplify the second sub-sum by including missing index r=0$r=0$ [cite: 1316]: 3[Σr=0⁹ ⁹Cᵣ((1)/(2))^r - 1] = 3[(1 + (1)/(2))⁹ - 1] = 3((3)/(2))⁹ - 3$$3\left[\sum_{r=0}^9 {^9C_r}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^r - 1\right] = 3\left[\left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)^9 - 1\right] = 3\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9 - 3$$ [cite: 1316]

Step 1: Combining the components

Combine both evaluations to fit into requested representation shape [cite: 1316]: Total Sum = (9)/(2)((3)/(2))⁸ + 3((3)/(2))⁹ - 3$$\text{Total Sum} = \frac{9}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^8 + 3\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9 - 3$$ [cite: 1316] Convert the fractional leading term [cite: 1316]: (9)/(2)((3)/(2))⁸ = 3 · (3)/(2)((3)/(2))⁸ = 3((3)/(2))⁹$$\frac{9}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^8 = 3 \cdot \frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^8 = 3\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9$$ [cite: 1316] Total Sum = 3((3)/(2))⁹ + 3((3)/(2))⁹ - 3 = 6((3)/(2))⁹ - 3$$\text{Total Sum} = 3\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9 + 3\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9 - 3 = 6\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9 - 3$$ [cite: 1316]

Matching coefficients gives [cite: 1317]: α = 6, β = 3$$\alpha = 6, \quad \beta = 3$$ [cite: 1317]

Evaluate the required squared value [cite: 1317]: (α + β)² = (6 + 3)² = 81$$(\alpha + \beta)^2 = (6 + 3)^2 = 81$$ [cite: 1317]

Step 1: Splitting the linear term

Rewrite the index variable r$r$ as (r - 1) + 1$(r - 1) + 1$ to align with the binomial lower index:

Applying the property again to the first summation term: (r-1) 14r-1 = 14 13r-2$(r-1)\binom{14}{r-1} = 14\binom{13}{r-2}$:
