What would be the reciprocal of -0.01 and 2.34, and how can I get them?
reciprocal is number that when times together gets u 1. so 1/-0.01=-100 and 1/2.34=.427...
thank you!
Isn't the reciprocal the opposite sign? so like you have 2 so it would be -2....?
The reciprocal of a number can be found by taking the value 1 and dividing it by the given number. To find the reciprocal of -0.01, you would perform the following calculation:
Reciprocal of -0.01 = 1 / (-0.01)
To divide by a negative number, you should first consider the negative sign separately and then divide as usual. Therefore:
Reciprocal of -0.01 = -(1 / 0.01)
Simplifying the division, you get:
Reciprocal of -0.01 = -100
So, the reciprocal of -0.01 is -100.
Now, let's find the reciprocal of 2.34:
Reciprocal of 2.34 = 1 / 2.34
To divide by a decimal, you need to move the decimal point to the right to convert it into a whole number. Move the decimal point two places to the right:
Reciprocal of 2.34 = 1 / 2.34 = 1 / 234
Now, you can calculate the reciprocal by dividing 1 by 234:
Reciprocal of 2.34 = 0.00427350...
So, the reciprocal of 2.34 is approximately 0.00427350.
