Can anyone simplify this for me

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

\[\frac{ 2^{n-1}+2n-1 }{ 26{n} }\]

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

its 2^n

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \frac{ 2^{n-1}+2^n-1 }{ 26{n} }\] like this ?

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

no its\[\frac{ 2^{n-1}+2n-1 }{ 2^n }\]

OpenStudy (precal):

use the laws of exponents

OpenStudy (precal):

\[\frac{ b^a }{ b^c }=b ^{a-c}\]

OpenStudy (precal):

you have the same base for the first two

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

yes

OpenStudy (precal):

ok tell me what you get and we can check it for you

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

the answer is 2^-n+n-1

OpenStudy (precal):

is your middle term 2n or 2^n? on your original question

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

\[2^{n}+n-1\]

OpenStudy (precal):

no I want to go back to your original posting first to make sure I am checking you correctly

OpenStudy (precal):

\[\frac{ 2^{n-1} +2^n-1}{ 2^n}\]

OpenStudy (precal):

is this the original question?

OpenStudy (precal):

or is that middle term 2n

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

sorry

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

\[\frac{ 2^n+2n-1 }{ 2^n }\]

OpenStudy (precal):

ok what happen to n-1 on the top one

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

i am sorry

OpenStudy (precal):

no I just need to know the original problem do you want to type it again. I want to make sure you get the correct solution

OpenStudy (precal):

take your time

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

now pls simplify

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (precal):

I can help you but I need to double check your original because you have given different versions. Please write your original for me.

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

yes i have checked

OpenStudy (abmon98):

\[2^-n(2^n+2n-1)\] \[2^n*2^-n=1\] \[1/2^n*2n\] \[2n/2^n=2n^-2n\] \[-1*1/2^n=-2^-n\] 1+2n^-2n-2^-n

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Iam not sure if this is right or not

OpenStudy (abmon98):

\[1+2n/2^n-1/2^n\] \[2^n+2n/2^n-1/2^n\]
