Reciprocals are numbers that when multiplied together will equal one. 4/5 and 5/4 are reciprocal.
The average is 4.
They are negative reciprocals Ex -1/2 and 2
1) Take the reciprocal of each number. 2) Add the results. 3) Divide this last result by 2, since there are two numbers.
2/3 and 3/4 are not reciprocals
2 and 1/2 and 2 and 4/5, respectively.
Every pair of mutual reciprocals has a product of 1 .
The slopes of perpendicular lines are reciprocals of each other. For example. if one line had an equation like y= 2x+4 then the perpendicular's slope would be y=x/2+4 -- they are reciprocals of each other.
The reciprocal of 11/4 is 4/11

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.
reciprocals, like 2 and 1/2
They are mutual reciprocals.
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.
No, the product of reciprocals is 1.
