We actually don't need to do any computation. By definition, the inverse function
changes the role of input and output. So, if a function f maps x onto y, the inverse function maps y onto x.
You have to think like this: if the function makes a step further, the inverse function makes that same step back.
This means that the composition
is always the identity function
. In fact,

So, for every function, you have

The answer to your questions is 3.12
The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.
50% since you have a half chance of getting 1 to 4 and other half is 4-8
