Problem
What is 
?
Solution
We can synchronously multiply 
to the polynomials both above and below the fraction bar. Thus,
![\[\frac{2^3+2^3}{2^{-3}+2^{-3}}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/b/2/4b28ea146ec2cef69325c36d2f851452eb7612ce.png)
\[\=\frac{2^6+2^6}{1+1}={2^6}\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg), which can be calculated resulting in 64. Therefore, the fraction equals to 
.
