Question

2^-1 +3^-1+4^-1 simplify​ steps plz​

Answer 1

When a negative no. is the power, this will be the answer = n^-1 = 1/n^1 = 1/n

So, 2^-1+3^-1+4^-1 = 1/2^1 + 1/3^1 + 1/4^1 = 1/2+1/3+1/4 = LCM of 2,3,4 = 24

1/2 = 12/24  

1/3 = 8/24

1/4 = 6/24

12/24+8/24+6/24 = 26/24 = 13/12

This is what I got.

Hope you have a great day! :)
