The value of ⁻¹ ( ( 19 4 ) - 1 ( 4 ) ) is equal to
Options
- A- 4
- B- 5 12
- C- 3 8
- D- 4 9
Correct answer
C. - 3 8
Step-by-step solution
( 19 4 ) = (4 + 3 4 ) = ( 3 4 ) = - 1 2 ( 4 ) = 1 2 Substituting these values into the given expression: ⁻¹ ( - 1 2 - 1 1 2 ) = ⁻¹ ( -1 - 2 1 ) = ⁻¹(-( 2 + 1)) Using the property ⁻¹(-x) = - ⁻¹(x) : - ⁻¹( 2 + 1) Since ( 3 8 ) = 2 + 1 , we get: - ⁻¹ ( ( 3 8 ) ) = - 3 8 Answer: - 3 8
