    Let the ratio of the fifth term from the beginning to the fifth term from the end in the binomial expansion of (24+134)n\left( \sqrt[4]{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{3}} \right)^{n}, in the increasing powers of 134\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{3}} be 64:1\sqrt[4]{6}:1. If the sixth term from the beginning is α34\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt[4]{3}}, then α\alpha is equal to
