Full solution

Q. 32n42n22n2n1 \frac{3 \cdot 2^{n}-4 \cdot 2^{n-2}}{2^{n}-2^{n-1}}
  1. Simplify Numerator: First, let's simplify the numerator by factoring out the common term 2n22^{n-2}. \newline32n42n2=2n2(3224)3\cdot2^n - 4\cdot2^{n-2} = 2^{n-2} \cdot (3\cdot2^2 - 4)
  2. Calculate Numerator: Now, calculate the value inside the parentheses.\newline3×224=3×44=124=83 \times 2^2 - 4 = 3 \times 4 - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8\newlineSo, the numerator becomes 2(n2)×82^{(n-2)} \times 8.
  3. Simplify Denominator: Next, let's simplify the denominator by factoring out the common term 2n12^{n-1}. \newline2n2n1=2n1×(21)2^n - 2^{n-1} = 2^{n-1} \times (2 - 1)
  4. Calculate Denominator: Now, calculate the value inside the parentheses.\newline21=12 - 1 = 1\newlineSo, the denominator becomes 2(n1)×12^{(n-1)} \times 1, which is simply 2(n1)2^{(n-1)}.
  5. Final Numerator and Denominator: Now we have the simplified numerator and denominator:\newlineNumerator: 2(n2)×82^{(n-2)} \times 8\newlineDenominator: 2(n1)2^{(n-1)}\newlineWe can now divide the numerator by the denominator.\newline(2(n2)×8)/(2(n1))(2^{(n-2)} \times 8) / (2^{(n-1)})
  6. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the rule of exponents for division to simplify the expression. 2n2/2n1=2n2(n1)=21=122^{n-2} / 2^{n-1} = 2^{n-2-(n-1)} = 2^{-1} = \frac{1}{2}
  7. Multiply by Numerator: Now, multiply the result by 88 (from the numerator).(12)×8=4(\frac{1}{2}) \times 8 = 4
  8. Final Simplified Form: The final simplified form of the expression is 44.
