what is the product of two numbers that are oppoite reciprocals?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\frac{a}{b}*\frac{b}{a} \\ \frac{\cancel{a}}{\cancel{b}}*\frac{\cancel{b}}{\cancel{a}}=\frac{1}{1}*\frac{1}{1}=1\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

as long as \(b,a \ne 0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 1? i put that and got it wrong

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

um it is definitely right... \(\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{1} = ?\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=?\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\frac{\pi}{e}*\frac{e}{\pi}=?\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

unless it was a trick question because \(\frac{0}{0}*\frac{0}{0}\ne 1\) but I made a note of this after I answered the question.

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

@zzr0ck3r you forgot it said opposite reciprocals |dw:1418870208348:dw|
