how do I compute 4^n*2^(n+1) ?

OpenStudy (rob1525):

what is the value of n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no value of n it's just a variable... wolfram says it's equal to 2^3n+1 but does gives out the steps...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is because \(4=2^2\) and so \(4^n=2^{2n}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

therefore when you add the exponents you get \[2^{3n+1}\]

OpenStudy (rob1525):

You need to simpify the exponents then?

ohhhh !! I see ! thank you for your help !
