Basic Mathematics QUESTION #4534
Question 1
If $a > 0$ and $b > 0$ with $a < b$, then $\frac{1}{a}$:
  • $< \frac{1}{b}$
  • > $\frac{1}{b}$✔️
  • $= \frac{1}{b}$
  • Cannot determine
Correct Answer Explanation
Taking reciprocals of positive numbers reverses inequality. Since $a < b$, we have $\frac{1}{a} > \frac{1}{b}$
