What is a reciprical?
A reciprocal (not reciprical) or multiplicative-inverse is THE relationship between two expressions factored from unity. The product of a reciprocal pair of expressions (quantities or numbers) is equal to 1. For example; 1/5 and 5 are reciprocals of each other, they multiply to equal 1. Zero (zed) does not have a reciprocal.
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other then they are if they have slopes that are the same then they are?
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
What is the reciprocal of 2?
The reciprocal of any integer n is equal to 1/n. In this instance, the reciprocal of 2 is equal to 1/2 or one half.
There is only one positive number that is equal to its reciprocal What is it?
one
Does a reciprocal always equal the number one?
No, a reciprocal is just like any other fraction, it only equals one if both numbers in it are the same.
Does a reciprocal always equal a whole number?
If you multiply them, reciprocals always equal one.
What happens when you divide reciprocals?
A number divided by its reciprocal is equal to the square of the number.
What is a recipricol?
Reciprocals are numbers that when multiplied together will equal one. 4/5 and 5/4 are reciprocal.

Are the reciprocals of a ratio equal?
The reciprocal of a number or a fraction is just flipping it...for example, the recip of 3 is 1/3 or the recip of 4/5 is 5/4
What is the product of two numbers that are reciprocals of one another explain why this is always the case?
A fraction multiplied by its reciprocal is always equal to one. This is because the reciprocal is an inversion of the fraction. The denominator of a fraction is the same number as the numerator of the reciprocal, and vice versa. The product of this is a fraction with the same numbers for the denominator and reciprocal, which is also known as an equivalent fraction. Equivalent fractions are always equal to one.
Is the product of the reciprocals of two positive numbers equal to the reciprocal of their product?
Yes. 3 x 4 = 12 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12
What is receprocal?
The word is actually reciprocal. A number multiplied by it's reciprocal will always equal 1. If you have 46, and multiplied it by 1/46, you will get 1. They are both reciprocals of each other as well. If you multiplied 1/46 by 46, you'd get 1 again. If you have a number x, the reciprocal will always be 1/x.
What consecutive whole numbers total 18?
None.you can have consecutive even numvers equal 18... 8 + 10
What does x times its reciprocal equal?
Any number multiplied by its reciprocal is equal to ' 1 '.
What is the product of a fraction and its reciprocal is always equal to?
It is equal to 1, but not always: the reciprocal must be defined for the equality and the reciprocal is not always defined.
