Problem
What is 
?
Solution
We can synchronously multiply 
to the polynomials both above and below the fraction bar. Thus,
![\[\frac{2^3+2^3}{2^{-3}+2^{-3}}\\=\frac{2^6+2^6}{1+1}\\={2^6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/f/6/5f61712212b2338ec47df60099f80f0e4a58c157.png)
Hence, the fraction equals to 
.
Solution 2
We could also do quick math\, solving the exponents to get:
\[\frac{8+8}{\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)\frac{1}{8}+
\[\frac{1}{8}}\\=\frac{2^6+2^6}{1+1}\\={2^6}.\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
