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.
