No, the Sum of two reciprocals isn't 1. However, the PRODUCT of two reciprocals is 1. For example, if you multiply 1/2 with 2/1, you'd multiply the two numeraters, which would be 1X2=2, and the two denominators, which is 2X1=2. this would cause the answer to be 2/2, or 1.

Is the sum of the reciprocals 1?
No, the product of reciprocals is 1.
The sum of two numbers is 10 their product is 20 the sum of reciprocals is what?
It is 0.5
How can you tell if two numbers are reciprocals?
If you multiply two reciprocals, their product must be 1.
Two numbers are if their product is -1?
Two numbers are negative reciprocals if their product is -1. The numbers 1/2 and -2 are negative reciprocals. Their product is -1. This is often seen in problems involving the slopes of two lines. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. Their product is -1.
The sum of two numbers is 10 and their product is 20 find the sum of the reciprocal of the number?
Suppose the numbers are x and y Then the sum of their reciprocals is 1/x + 1/y = y/xy + x/xy = (y+x)/xy = 10/20 = 1/2
Is the sum of the reciprocals 1?
No, the product of reciprocals is 1.
If the sum of two numbers is 7 and there product is 25 what is the sum of there reciprocals?
Suppose the two numbers are x and y. Then, the sum of THEIR reciprocals is 1/x + 1/y = y/xy + x/xy = (y + x)/xy = 7/25
Find the sum of the reciprocals of two real numbers given that these numbers have a sum of 150 and a product of 40?
1/x + 1/y = (y+x)/xy But y + x = sum = 150, and xy = product = 40 So sum of reciprocals = 150/40 = 3.75
The sum of two numbers is 10 their product is 20 the sum of reciprocals is what?
It is 0.5
The sum of two number is 10 and their product is 30 the sum of their reciprocals is?
Suppose the numbers are x and y. The sum of their reciprocals = 1/x + 1/y = y/xy + x/xy = (y+x)/xy = (x+y)/xy = 10/30 = 1/3

Can the sum of the reciprocals of two positives numvers is equal to the reciprocal of their sum?
No. That only works with products.
The sum of two numbers is 65 their product of these two is 750 what is the sum of the reciprocals of the two numbers?
(50 + 15) = 65 (50 x 15) = 750 1/50 + 1/15 = 13/150
What are the two conditional statements from the following Two numbers are reciprocals if and only if their product is 1?
If two numbers are reciprocals, then their product is 1. If the product of two numbers is 1, then they are reciprocals.
How can you tell if two numbers are reciprocals?
If you multiply two reciprocals, their product must be 1.
One number is 3 times another number. If the sum of the reciprocals of the number is 1 divided by 6. What are the two numbers?
12 and 18
If the sum of two numbers is 12 and the product is 24 What is the sum of the reciprocals?
1/x+1/y y/xy+x/xy x+y/xy=12/24 12/24=1/2 1/2 is the answer.
