a= 1/a, then a squared=?
How can a = 1/a ?
1/a is a fraction. 1 is the numerator and a is the denominator. you need to plug in for a but I don't know how to solve it
as with all fractions, clear things out by multiplying by the denominator
So, multiply by a and you have
a^2 = 1
done
To find the value of a² when a = 1/a, we can solve the equation and substitute the value of a back into the equation.
Let's start by solving the given equation: a = 1/a.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by a, we get:
a² = 1.
So, a² is equal to 1.
