a) \(2^{-1}\cdot2^n+4\cdot2^n=9\cdot2^5\)
\(\Rightarrow2^n\cdot\left(2^{-1}+4\right)=9\cdot2^5\)
\(\Rightarrow2^n\cdot4,5=288\)
\(\Rightarrow2^n=64\)
\(\Rightarrow n=6\)
b) \(2^m-2^n=1984\)
\(\Rightarrow2^n\cdot\left(2^{m-n}-1\right)=2^6\cdot31\)
\(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}2^n=2^6\\2^{m-n}-1=31\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow n=6\)
\(\Rightarrow2^{m-n}=32\Rightarrow m-n=5\Rightarrow m=11\)
