Question

What is the reciprocal of 8?

Community Answer

1/8. Since every whole number is invisibly divided by 1 (in this case, 8/1), you just interchange the numerator and denominator, putting the denominator over the numerator and there is your reciprocal, 8/1. In other words, a reciprocal takes a number a/b and turns it into b/a.

Question

The sum between a number and 4 times its reciprocal is 4. Find the number.

Donagan

Top Answerer

Let x be the number. Then x + (4)(1/x) = x + 4/x = 4. Subtract 4 from both sides: x + 4/x - 4 = 0. Multiply both sides by x to eliminate the fraction: x² + 4 - 4x = 0 = x² -4x + 4. By factoring, (x - 2)² = 0. Therefore, x = 2. To check: 2 + (4)(½) = 2 + 2 = 4.
