if y=3/5 what is 2^2y-1 help

OpenStudy (agreene):

are you asking: for \[y=\frac35\] evaluate \[2^{2y-1}\] or \[2^2*y-1\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (agreene):

which? \[2^{2y-1} \space\text{or}\space 2^2*y-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u find the answer

OpenStudy (agreene):

So, the first thing to do is to plug simplify the equation. In this case, that cant be done. The next step is to plug in the value for y: \[2^{2(\frac35)-1}\] Next we need to evaluate the exponent: \[2^{\frac65-1}\] I'm not a fan of fractions so I'll convert 6/5 = 1.2 and subtract the 1 \[2^{0.2}\] or \[2^{\frac15}\] this cant be reduced any further

the answer choices is 1.15 .76 .6 1.4
