write the opposite, reciprocal, and absolute value of each number . A: -1/2 #: 4 C: 0
look up what is reciprocal and absolute value see some examples its so easy
hello
To find the opposite of a number, you simply change its sign.
A:
- The opposite of -1/2 is 1/2.
To find the reciprocal of a number, you divide 1 by that number.
A:
- The reciprocal of -1/2 is -2/1, or -2.
- The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1, or 2.
To find the absolute value of a number, you disregard its sign and take its positive value.
A:
- The absolute value of -1/2 is 1/2.
Now let's move on to the second number:
#:
- The opposite of 4 is -4.
- The reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
- The absolute value of 4 is 4.
Finally, for the third number:
C:
- The opposite of 0 is still 0, as there is no change in sign.
- The reciprocal of 0 is undefined, since division by zero is not possible.
- The absolute value of 0 is still 0, since its positive value is itself.
