Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 11/12 - 3/8
1. First, we will find a common denomenator. It needs to be the least common factor, or the answer will not be in its simplist form. Let's take a look at the multiples of 12 and 8.
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96
8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72
2. Next, we will choose the smallest common multiple. That would be 24.
3. Now, we will work this out.
11/12 = 22/24
3/8 = 9/24
4. Subtract.
22/24 - 9/24
= 13/24
=
I found the denomenators by multiplying.
Hope this answer helped!

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse function, solve ...
x = f(y)
x = (y^7)/7 -4 . . . . . . . use the definition of f(x)
x +4 = (y^7)/7 . . . . . . add 4
7(x +4) = y^7 . . . . . . multiply by 7
(7(x +4))^(1/7) = y . . take the 7th root
The inverse function is the one shown in the attachment.
