OpenStudy (anonymous):
The reciprocal of a number is the number's multiplicative inverse: in other words the number that when you multiply by that number you get 1. The reciprocal of -5 is 0.2 in other words 1 over -5 ** Note that you do not want to confuse this with a number's opposite, or additive inverse. The additive inverse is a number so that the sum of the numbers is 0. ** hoped it helped
