-1.73 and 100/173

∙ 11y agoTaking 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.
Meaningless question.
Actually the reciprocal of any number is that number in the denominator instead of in the numerator. The reciprocal of -3 is 1 over -3.
The opposite is defined in the context of an operation. So, if the operation is addition, then the opposite is the additive inverse. If the operation in multiplication, then the opposite is the reciprocal. If the operation is exponentiation then the opposite is the logarithm, if the operation is sine then the opposite is arc sine. In function notation, if y = f(x) then the opposite is x = f-1(y), which may or may not always be defined.
a reciprocal is just the number flipped over the reciprocal of 3 is 1/3 the reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4
The opposite is 8584073464 while the reciprocal is -1/8584073464. If you mean the opposite of the reciprocal of -8584073464 then is 1/8584073464.
opposite is -200 reciprocal is 1/200
Opposite of fractions is called reciprocal.
The answer depends on what you mean by the "opposite" of a number. A reciprocal is one type of opposite: it is the multiplicative opposite.
- 200 would be the opposite of 200 on the number line. 1/200 is the reciprocal of 200.
The answer depends on what you mean by the "opposite" of a number. A reciprocal is one type of opposite: it is the multiplicative opposite.
The reciprocal of the square root of 6 is ±0.4082 (approx). Not sure what is meant by opposite.
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
I suppose you mean what is an opposite reciprocal? At any rate, we should start there. The opposite reciprocal is -(1/x) so let's take the number 5. The opposite reciprocal would be -1/5. If you want two lines to be perpendicular you must take the original slope of the first line and change it to its opposite reciprocal. For example: y=5x A line perpendicular to this line would be y=-1/5x.
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. This is related to the facts that (1) division is the opposite of multiplication, and (2) a reciprocal is the multiplicative "opposite" of a number.
1/19 would be the reciprocal of 19. It's just the opposite.
pi-4 is the opposite and 1/4-pi is the reciprocal
