a recipricol of a fraction is the fraction flipped over, with the numerator in the denominators place and vice versa.
-My teacher likes for us to use math terms, such as reciprocal, in class.
1/a is the reciprocal of a
Flip is the technical term for a reciprocal. (The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3)
The reciprocal of a number is: 1 divided by the number. Example: the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 and 5 is 1/5..
A reciprocal is when you take the second fraction in a division problem and flip it Then change the sign to multiply. THIS ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU ARE DIVIDING FRACTIONS!

Reflect.
A reciprocal is useful to know in math because to divide fractions, you must multiply by the second fraction's reciprocal. For example: 2/3 divided by 4/7 is the same as 2/3 times 7/4.
The reciprocal is the "multiplicative inverse". This means 1 divided by the number. The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2, the reciprocal of 5 is 1/5, etc.

Reciprocal in math means to flip a number. 2x can also be expressed as 2/1 (2 over 1) x. So the reciprocal of 2x is 1/2 (one over two) x.
Reciprocal would do in certain cases. 1 one tenth is the reciprocal of 10 in arithmetic 270º is the reciprocal of 90º in geometry Inverse would do as well - a reciprocal is an inverse for multiplication. negation means something like the opposition in logic. complement has the meaning of opposite in some cases. opposite is itself a math term- used in geometry as in the phrase "opposite side of a parallellogram".
