Simplify Numerator: First, let's simplify the numerator by factoring out the common term 2n−2. 3⋅2n−4⋅2n−2=2n−2⋅(3⋅22−4)
Calculate Numerator: Now, calculate the value inside the parentheses.3×22−4=3×4−4=12−4=8So, the numerator becomes 2(n−2)×8.
Simplify Denominator: Next, let's simplify the denominator by factoring out the common term 2n−1. 2n−2n−1=2n−1×(2−1)
Calculate Denominator: Now, calculate the value inside the parentheses.2−1=1So, the denominator becomes 2(n−1)×1, which is simply 2(n−1).
Final Numerator and Denominator: Now we have the simplified numerator and denominator:Numerator: 2(n−2)×8Denominator: 2(n−1)We can now divide the numerator by the denominator.(2(n−2)×8)/(2(n−1))
Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the rule of exponents for division to simplify the expression. 2n−2/2n−1=2n−2−(n−1)=2−1=21
Multiply by Numerator: Now, multiply the result by 8 (from the numerator).(21)×8=4
Final Simplified Form: The final simplified form of the expression is 4.
