\(S=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{3^3}+...+\frac{1}{3^8}+\frac{1}{3^9}\)
\(\Rightarrow3S=1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3^2}+...+\frac{1}{3^7}+\frac{1}{3^8}\)
\(\Rightarrow3S-S=\left(1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3^2}+...+\frac{1}{3^7}+\frac{1}{3^8}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{3^3}+...+\frac{1}{3^8}+\frac{1}{3^9}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow2S=1-\frac{1}{3^9}\)
\(\Rightarrow S=\frac{1-\frac{1}{3^9}}{2}\)
