Question2n+12n+22n12n2\frac{2^{n+1}-2^{n+2}}{2^{n-1}-2^{n-2}}

Studdy Solution
Simplify the entire fraction by dividing the factored numerator by the factored denominator.
2n+12n2 \frac{-2^{n+1}}{2^{n-2}}
Apply the properties of exponents:
=2(n+1)(n2) = -2^{(n+1) - (n-2)}
=2n+1n+2 = -2^{n+1-n+2}
=23 = -2^{3}
=8 = -8
The simplified expression is:
8 \boxed{-8}
