Let f be the reciprocal function:
∀x∈R∗,f(x)=1x
I\ Calculate:
1)f(1)2)f(−12)3)f(10−6)4)f(√2)5)f(√55)
Note: If you end up with roots or fractions, keep the fraction/radical, don't give the decimal form.
II\ Demonstrate that, for any strictly positive real number x, that 1√x=√xx
1. 1/1 = 1
2. 1/(-1/2) = 1 x (-2/1) = -2
3. 1/(10^-6) = 1 x 10^6 = 1,000,000
4. 1/(sqrt2) = Sqrt(2)/2
5. 1/((sqrt5)/5) = 1 x 5/(sqrt5) = 5/sqrt5 = sqrt5
ii 1/sqrtx = 1/sqrtx x sqrtx/sqrtx = sqrtx/x
