The numbers -1/5 and -5 are 'negative reciprocals.' True or False?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Maslowich3 years ago
7 0

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.

The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches. A standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches. What is the distance betw
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inches

Circumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches

Area of circle = π r²  

Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²

Circumference of a circle = 2 π r

30 = 2 * 3.14 * r

r = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches

Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²

254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²
