For each $m \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, let $S_m$ = $\sum_{k=0}^m 2^k{m \choose k}$.
If $m \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, determine the value of $$\frac{S_{n+1}}{S_n}$$
So far, I have simplified it down to this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Spf6t.jpg
I don't know how to go from here.
Note that according to the binomial theorem you have $$\sum_{k=0}^m 2^k{m \choose k} = (2+1)^m$$
