Positive, for all non-zero real numbers.
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divide by that number - the reciprocal of -3 is 1/(-3), or -1/3. So, the negative reciprocal of -3 would be 1/3 (without the minus sign).
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.
The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine function. Now, the reciprocal of a positive number is positive, and the reciprocal of a negative number is negative.
Think of it like this:The product of a negative number times a number (call it B), will be the opposite sign of the sign of number B.The product of a positive number times a number B, will have the same sign as the sign of number B.
No, only the number of negative factors affect its sign.
The product will be positive in this case.
negative
If there are an odd number of numbers with a negative sign then the sign of the product is negative. Otherwise it is positive.
Count the number of negative numbers. If this is an even number, the sign is + and if it is odd, the sign is -.
No. Any number of positive factors will lead to a positive product.
In math a reciprocal is the number you multiply a given number by to get 1. The easiest way is to put the given number under 1 in a fraction as the denominator. Hence the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4 or 0.25, the recprocal of (x2+2xy+y2) is 1/(x2+2xy+y2) In this case the reciprocal is 1/(-110) or ... after a bit of hocus pocus with the sign ... -1/110
The product of a positive and negative number is always negative The sum of a positive and negative number depends on which one is larger; subtract the two numbers and take the sign of the larger
