Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Take out a common factor in the numerator and denominator, that is
[tex]2^{36}[/tex]( 2² + 2) = 6 × [tex]2^{36}[/tex] ← numerator
[tex]2^{37}[/tex](2² + 2) = 6 × [tex]2^{37}[/tex]
Thus simplifies to
[tex]\frac{6(2)^{36} }{6(2)^{37} }[/tex] ← cancel the factor 6 on numerator/ denominator
= [tex]\frac{1}{2^{(37-36)} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
