Hello! Can anyone show that (2n+2-n)/2=(1+4n​)/2n+1? Thanks.

Repost your problem - using parenthesis (grouping symbol), so that mathematical operations can be performed in correct order.
 
Hello, Olsi!

\(\displaystyle \text{Show that: }\:\dfrac{2^n + 2^{-n}}{2} \:=\:\dfrac{1+4^n}{2^{n+1}}\)

\(\displaystyle \displaystyle \text{Multiply by }\frac{2^n}{2^n}\!:\quad \frac{2^n}{2^n}\cdot \frac{2^n + 2^{-n}}{2} \;=\;\frac{(2^n)(2^n) + (2^n)(2^{-n})}{(2^n)(2)} \;=\;\frac{4^n + 1}{2^{n+1}} \)
