Answer:
(n-2)(n+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator of the second fraction is the difference of squares, so can be factored using the formula for that.
(n^2 -4) = (n -2)(n +2)
Now, you will note that the second fraction has a numerator that is equal to one of the factors in the denominator. In other words, the whole fraction can be simplified to ...
(n +2)/((n +2)(n -2)) = 1/(n -2) . . . . with the restriction n≠-2
This reduced form of the fraction has the same denominator as the first fraction, so you can say that the lowest common denominator is that: (n -2).
If there is some reason you don't want to reduce the second fraction, the lowest common denominator will be (n -2)(n +2).

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's complete the square
f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8
y = x^2 + 6x + 8
y-8 = x^2 + 6x
y-8+9 = x^2+6x+9 .... see note below
y+1 = (x+3)^2
y = (x+3)^2-1
note: I added 9 to both sides due to taking half of the 6, and then squaring that result.
We'll restrict x such that
to ensure that this function is one-to-one.
Now we need to swap x and y, and solve for y to get the inverse
y = (x+3)^2 - 1
x = (y+3)^2 - 1
x+1 = (y+3)^2
(y+3)^2 = x+1
y+3 = sqrt(x+1)
y = sqrt(x+1)-3
g(x) = sqrt(x+1)-3 is the inverse
The graph is shown below. The original function is in red. The inverse is in blue. The inverse is the result of reflecting the red curve over the dashed line y = x. So this explains why x and y swap places. Consequently, the domain and range also swap as well.
