The reciprocal of any non-zero number is one divided by that number. The reciprocal of 0 is not defined.
For example, if R(x) represents the reciprocal of x, then
R(6) = 1/6
R(5/7) = 1 / (5/7) = 1*(7/5) = 7/5
R(x) = 1/x

∙ 10y agoEither it is an expression yelled by a teacher when something goes wrong, or it is an alternative term for "to find the reciprocal of". For example, the reciprocal of 3/4 is equal to 4/3 - you have "flipped" the fraction around.
what does the term reorder mean in math
its mean like well its a math term its like distrubed fractions
"Numeral" is another term for "number."
An amount
Flip is the technical term for a reciprocal. (The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3)

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 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".
No, the math term ratio doesn't mean multiply.
Usually the same as reciprocal. The inverse of 3/4 is 4/3
-My teacher likes for us to use math terms, such as reciprocal, in class.
