What is the reciprocal of negative 6?
-1*2*3
What is the reciprocal of y to the negative 2 power?
The expression Y-2 is 1/Y2. The reciprocal of 1/Y2 is Y2.
What is the negative reciprocal of -0.1?
The reciprocal of -1/10 is -10, and the negative of -10 is 10 .
What is 2 with a negative 4 exponent?
A negative exponent is the same as the reciprocal of the number with a positive exponent.Thus 2^(-4) is the reciprocal of 2^4. Now 2^4 = 16 and the reciprocal of 16 is 1/16 so 2^-4 = 1/(2^4) = 1/16 = 0.0625
What is the slope of a line that is peroendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 5?
Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope. Slope of y=2x+5 is 2/1 negative reciprocal is (-1/2)
What is the negative reciprocal of a slope?
The negative reciprocal of any gradient gives the gradient of the line perpendicular to it. If you had a line of gradient 2, the negative reciprocal would be -1/2 Just change the sign on the number and flip the number/fraction to get the negative reciprocal.
What is the reciprical of negative two and one quarter?
reciprocal of a negative is still a negative, and 2 and a quarter can be rewritten as 9/4. The reciprocal of this number is 4/9. Therefore, the reciprocal of -2 and a quarter is -4/9.
What is the reciprocal of negative 6?
-1*2*3
How do you find the reciprocal of a negative number?
A number multiplied with it's reciprocal must be one. So for example if you have -(1/2), than it's reciprocal is -2.
What is the reciprocal of y to the negative 2 power?
The expression Y-2 is 1/Y2. The reciprocal of 1/Y2 is Y2.
What is the negative reciprocal of -0.1?
The reciprocal of -1/10 is -10, and the negative of -10 is 10 .
What is the reciprocal of negative 5 over 2?
Negitive 2 over five
What if the slope is negative already what would be the reciprocal?
It would be the negative of the negative reciprocal. And since the negative of a negative is a posivie, it is the positive reciprocal.. For example, if the slope was -3, the other would be 1/3.
What is the negative reciprocal of 0?
The negative reciprocal of zero would be any undefined fraction. 0/x=0 negative reciprocal: -(x/0)= undefined.
What is the reciprocal of negative 13 over 8?
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, exchange the numerator and the denominator (the top and bottom parts). The reciprocal of a negative fraction is also negative.
What is 2 with a negative 4 exponent?
A negative exponent is the same as the reciprocal of the number with a positive exponent.Thus 2^(-4) is the reciprocal of 2^4. Now 2^4 = 16 and the reciprocal of 16 is 1/16 so 2^-4 = 1/(2^4) = 1/16 = 0.0625
Why is the reciprocal of the opposite of a nonzero number the opposite of the reciprocal of the number?
Taking the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) does not affect the positive or negative status of an integer. So the reciprocal of a negative number is negative and the reciprocal of a positive number is positive. The reciprocals will be opposites (positive/negative) just as the original numbers were.
