simplify 2^x+2^{x-1}

Solution

simplify

2^{x} + 2^{x - 1}

Solution

3 \cdot 2^{x - 1}

Solution steps

2^{x} + 2^{x - 1}

2^{x} = 2^{x - 1 + 1}

= 2^{x - 1 + 1} + 2^{x - 1}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

2^{x - 1 + 1} = 2^{1} \cdot 2^{x - 1}

= 2^{1} \cdot 2^{x - 1} + 2^{x - 1}

Factor out common term

2^{x - 1}

= 2^{x - 1} (2^{1} + 1)

Refine

= 3 \cdot 2^{x - 1}
