How do you use reciprocals to solve a division problem with rational numbers?
Division by any non-zero number is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal.
Is the sum of the reciprocals 1?
No, the product of reciprocals is 1.
What number can be multiplied by a fraction and get a result of 1?
The number that can be multiplied by a fraction to get a result of 1 is the reciprocal of the fraction. Apart from zero, all real numbers have reciprocals.
How can you tell if two numbers are reciprocals?
If you multiply two reciprocals, their product must be 1.
What are reciprocals with a product of 1?
Every pair of mutual reciprocals has a product of 1 .
What Two numbers who's product is one?
Reciprocals. x and 1/x for any number x other than zero.
Do you reduce reciprocals?
Yes.
What are the negative reciprocals of each other?
The negative reciprocal of a non-zero number x, is -1/x. And the negative reciprocal of that is -1/(-1/x) = -1*(x/-1) = x
How do you divide fractions without reciprocals?
Using reciprocals, a/b divided by c/d is the same as a/b times d/c. If you multiply this, you get ad/bc.Without thinking about this as reciprocals, you can do this multiplication directly, cross-multiplication so to speak.
What is 3.4 in reciprocals form?

What are two numbers with a product of one?
They're known as reciprocals.
Why you take reciprocals of intercepts for finding miller indices?
Using reciprocals spares us the complication of infinite intercepts.Formulas involving Miller indices are very similar to related formulas from analytical geometry.
How do you calculate total capacitance if connected in series?
reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals.
How do you know if two line segments are perpendicular?
