The negative reciprocal of zero would be any undefined fraction. 0/x=0 negative reciprocal: -(x/0)= undefined.
One.
The negative reciprocal of a non-zero number x, is -1/x. And the negative reciprocal of that is -1/(-1/x) = -1*(x/-1) = x
what is the reciprocal of 0?well you have to understand that a reciprocal of any number is the number that when multiplied gives 1.ex. reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 because 2x1/2 is 1now understanding that what number can we multiply 0 by to get 10x1 nope0x8 nope0x10000000000000000000000000000000 nopebut what if we consider infinity?infinity isn't big it isn't small it is the endlessness of numbers.and zero is the midway point of the numbers.skipping all of the theory we can understand that the recipricol of 0 is infinity.This is a common perception of the reciprocal of zero. Another common answer, more commonly believed, is that 0's reciprocal is undefined.
Multiplicative Inverse of a NumberReciprocal The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal. For example, the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 12 is and the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of is . Note: The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1. Observe that ·= 1.
