To find the opposite, reciprocal, and absolute value of each number, you can follow these steps:
A: -1/2
Opposite: To find the opposite of a number, simply change the sign. So, the opposite of -1/2 is 1/2.
Reciprocal: To find the reciprocal of a number, flip it upside down. So, the reciprocal of -1/2 is -2/1 or simply -2.
Absolute Value: The absolute value of a number refers to its distance from zero on a number line, always being positive. So, the absolute value of -1/2 is 1/2.
#: 4
Opposite: The opposite of 4 is -4.
Reciprocal: The reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
Absolute Value: The absolute value of 4 is 4.
C: 0
Opposite: The opposite of 0 is still 0.
Reciprocal: The reciprocal of 0 does not exist, because dividing by zero is undefined.
Absolute Value: The absolute value of 0 is 0.
