A non-example of a reciprocal would be the number zero. This is because the reciprocal of a number ( x ) is defined as ( \frac{1}{x} ), and since division by zero is undefined, zero does not have a reciprocal. Additionally, any number that is not a non-zero number, such as a negative number or a fraction, also serves as a non-example if it cannot be inverted to produce a valid result.
