If a fraction is greater than what do you know its reciprocal?
If a fraction is greater than a positive number x, then its reciprocal is between 0 and 1/x.
What does 5 to negative 2 power equal?
it equals 1/25, or 0.04. A number to a negative power is the reciprocal of the number to that same positive power. x^(-y) = 1/(x^y)
What is the reciprocal of a real number?
The reciprocal of a number is one divided by the number. The product of a number and its reciprocal equals one.The easiest way to get the reciprocal of a number is to put the number in the form of a fraction then swap the numerator with the denominator.The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.The reciprocal of 123/5564 is 5564/123.The reciprocal of 1/5 is 5.The reciprocal of 73 is 1/73.The reciprocal of x is 1/x.
What are reciprocal numbers?
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number. Alternatively, a number and its reciprocal make a pair such that they always multiply to make 1.
What happens when you subtract a negative number from a positive number?
It's the same as adding a positive number.
Why will sin and cosecant have the same sign?
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.
What positive number is the same as its reciprocal?
1
What positive number is the same as it's own reciprocal?
1.
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.
What is the reciprocal of a positive rational number?
It is another positive rational number. The reciprocal of p/q is q/p.
What is the property of the reciprocal of the opposite of a number?
The property of the reciprocal of the opposite of a number is: Reciprocals of inverse values are themselves inverse values. i.e. for b = (-1)a , the reciprocal 1/b = (-1) 1/a The negative or positive status of a reciprocal is the same as that of the original number.
What postive number is its own reciprocal?
1 is the only positive number that is its own reciprocal. -1 is the negative number that is its own reciprocal.
Is the number positive if the power is negative?
It does not work that way. A negative power is simply the reciprocal. So that x-a = 1/xa The reciprocal is negative or positive according to whether the number itself is negative or positive. [And, if the number is 0, the reciprocal is not defined.]
The reciprocal of a positive number is?
It should also be a positive number. Let x be the numerator and y be the denominator. So you have +x/+y, the reciprocal would be +y/+x.
Why is dividing by a number the same as multiplying by its reciprocal?
That is the definition of reciprocal.
What is number to a negative power?
This is defined as the reciprocal of the number to the corresponding positive power. For example, according to this definition, 10-3 is the same as 1 / 103.
What is the minimum value of sum of a positive real number and its reciprocal?
This minimum is achieved when the number is 1 (and the reciprocal therefore is also 1).
