Question 432376: If two numbers are opposite of each other, are their reciprocals also opposite of each other?
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In general, that would be x compared to its opposite, which is -x.
Yes, it is true that the reciprocals 1/x and -1/x are also opposites!!
That is, except for the number 0, which has no reciprocal.
