Answer:
ab = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A Reciprocal of a number is a number which when multiplied by the original number yields the multiplicative number, 1.
So the reciprocal of x would be x⁻¹ or ¹⁄ₓ
The information we are given states that the sum of the two non-zero numbers a and b equals the sum of their reciprocals.
So we can write this into an equation and solve,
(See image)
Once we solve, we get the equation (ab-1)(a+b) = 0
We are given info that a+b≠0
So for the above equation to be true, ab-1 has to equal 0
For <em>this</em> to be true, the product ab must equal 1
