Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative reciprocal of -1/5 would be 5, and the negative reciprocal of -5 is 1/5. A way to double-check is all negative reciprocals add to -1.

-1/5 + -5= -5 1/5

Hope this helps and you understand negative reciprocals more for future problems ahead.

G/e^2-r=m-y please solve for e

allochka39001 [22]

Move r to the right side of the equation, G/e^2=m-y+r. Multiply both sides by e^2, G=(m-y+r)*e^2. Then divide both sides by m-y+r (it cannot be 0), G/(m-y+r)=e^2. Then e=+-\sqrt(G/(m-y+r)).
