To simplify the expression, let's analyze it step by step. First, consider the expression: \[ \frac{2^{x-3}-3 \cdot 2^{x-1}}{2^{x-2}}. \] We can simplify the numerator: \[ 2^{x-3} - 3 \cdot 2^{x-1} = 2^{x-3} - 3 \cdot 2^{x-1} = 2^{x-3} - 3 \cdot 2^{x-3} \cdot 2^2 = 2^{x-3} (1 - 12) = 2^{x-3} (-11). \] Therefore, the numerator simplifies to: \[ -11 \cdot 2^{x-3}. \] Now, we can simplify the full fraction: \[ \frac{-11 \cdot 2^{x-3}}{2^{x-2}} = -11 \cdot \frac{2^{x-3}}{2^{x-2}} = -11 \cdot 2^{-1} = -\frac{11}{2}. \] Now, for the second expression: \[ \frac{2^{2013}-2\cdot3 \cdot 2^{2001}}{2^{x} \cdot 2^{-2}}. \] Here, we simplify the denominator: \[ 2^{x} \cdot 2^{-2} = 2^{x-2}. \] Now, simplify the numerator: \[ 2^{2013} - 6 \cdot 2^{2001} = 2^{2001}(2^{12} - 6) = 2^{2001}(4096 - 6) = 2^{2001} \cdot 4090. \] So the entire expression becomes: \[ \frac{2^{2001} \cdot 4090}{2^{x-2}} = 2^{2001 - (x-2)} \cdot 4090 = 2^{2003 - x} \cdot 4090. \] Now consider the third expression: \[ \frac{2^{2001 + 2^{2013} - 6 \cdot 2^{2011}} - 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 2^{200}}{2^{x}-2^{-2}}. \] First simplify the term in the exponent: \[ 2^{2001 + 2^{2013} - 6 \cdot 2^{2011}} = 2^{2001 + (2 \cdot 2^{2011} - 6 \cdot 2^{2011})} = 2^{2001 - 4 \cdot 2^{2011}}. \] The denominator simplifies as: \[ 2^{x} - 2^{-2} = 2^{x} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \cdot 2^x - 1}{4}. \] The complete expression becomes rather complex, making it difficult to simplify without further information about \(x\). Lastly, the entire original question concludes with: \[ 2^{2001} \left(2^{2} - 2 \cdot 3\right) = 2^{2001} \cdot (4 - 6) = 2^{2001} \cdot (-2) = -2^{2002}. \] So the answers from the parts are: 1. The first fraction simplifies to \(-\frac{11}{2}\). 2. The second fraction simplifies to \(2^{2003-x} \cdot 4090\). 3. The third is a difficult expression depending on \(x\). 4. The conclusion returns a negative multiple of \(2^{2001}\). Thus the expression does not directly equal any of the subsequent expressions without specific values for \(x\).
