Answer:
(√(7))/(7)

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of x is 1/x where x is nonzero. Multiplying x with 1/x leads to 1. For example, the numbers 9 and 1/9 are multiplicative inverses of each other.

We'll stick 1 over the given square root expression. Then follow these steps to rationalize the denominator.


(1)/(√(7))\\\\\\(1*√(7))/(√(7)*√(7))\\\\\\(√(7))/((√(7))^2)\\\\\\(√(7))/(7)\\\\

In short,
(1)/(√(7))=(√(7))/(7)
