To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you switch the numerator and denominator.

<em>n
</em>-- =<em> </em><em>n </em>as a fraction
1

-- = the reciprocal of <em>n</em>
<em>n
</em>
Therefore, the number you are looking for is 5, because 5 + 1/5 <--- which is the reciprocal of 5,

Find X. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
storchak [24]

Answer:

3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 2 secont lines intersecting inside a circle like the picture shown, then the theorem tells us that <em>"the product of 2 segments of one secant line is equal to the product of 2 segments of other secant line"</em>

<em></em>

Thus, we can say that:

x * 10 = 8 * 4

10x = 32

x = 32/10

x = 3.2
