Q. EXAMPLE 55 Prove that 2x1+2x2x+12x=32 \frac{2^{x-1}+2^{x}}{2^{x+1}-2^{x}}=\frac{3}{2} .
  1. Factor out 2(x1)2^{(x-1)}: Factor out 2(x1)2^{(x-1)} from the numerator and 2x2^x from the denominator.\newline2(x1)(1+2)2x(21)\frac{2^{(x-1)} \cdot (1 + 2)}{2^x \cdot (2 - 1)}
  2. Simplify expression inside parentheses: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses. (2(x1)×3)/(2x×1)(2^{(x-1)} \times 3) / (2^x \times 1)
  3. Divide 2(x1)2^{(x-1)} by 2x2^x: Divide 2(x1)2^{(x-1)} by 2x2^x in the fraction.\newline(32(x1))/2x=3(2(x1)/2x)(3 \cdot 2^{(x-1)}) / 2^x = 3 \cdot (2^{(x-1)} / 2^x)
  4. Use property of exponents: Use the property of exponents to simplify 2(x1)/2x2^{(x-1)} / 2^x. \newline3×(2((x1)x))=3×213 \times (2^{((x-1)-x)}) = 3 \times 2^{-1}
  5. Calculate 212^{-1}: Calculate 212^{-1}. 3×123 \times \frac{1}{2}
  6. Multiply by 32\frac{3}{2}: Multiply 33 by 12\frac{1}{2}. 32\frac{3}{2}
