These are numbers x such that x = 1/x.
But this means that x2 = 1.
Try solving this last equation for x. (i.e. the only numbers are +1 and -1)
Reciprocals are numbers that when multiplied together will equal one. 4/5 and 5/4 are reciprocal.
A number divided by its reciprocal is equal to the square of the number.
Reciprocals, or multiplicative inverses
No, they are not!
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
Reciprocals are numbers that when multiplied together will equal one. 4/5 and 5/4 are reciprocal.
If you multiply two reciprocals, their product must be 1.
I have a feeling that you wrote "opposite reciprocals"where you only needed to write "reciprocals".Their product is ' 1 '.
Reciprocals.
Every one of them has a reciprocal.
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 numbers are reciprocals of one another.
If you multiply them, reciprocals always equal one.
The Two numbers are reciprocals of each number
They're known as reciprocals.

Numbers greater than 1 have reciprocals less than 1. Numbers less than 1 have reciprocals greater than 1.
