Answer:we multiply by the reciprocal of a fraction when completing a division problem because it is a rule in mathematics that when you divide two fraction, you change the division sign to multiplication and flip the fraction at the right of the multiplication sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if you have 4÷ 1/2. It basically means how many 1/2 can one get in 4. And the answers is 8.

Therefore multiplying by the reciprocal of a fraction when completing a division problem is a short cut method that has been tested and proven to be correct.

Evaluate tan ( cos^-1 ( 1/8 ) ) , giving your answer as an exact value (no decimals)

$\bf cos^{-1}\left( \cfrac{1}{8} \right)=\theta \qquad \qquad cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{8}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{8^2-1^1}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{63}=b ~\hfill tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{\pm\sqrt{63}}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}} \\\\\\ ~\hspace{34em}$
