Because 0 over 1 would be the reciprical, and you can't multiply to get the opposite of 0. O doesn't have an opposite. Duh!!!! I am in 8th grade algebra and even I knew that. ;)
^there was no need for that at the end, because I'm in a low set for English and even i know how to spell reciprocal ;)
oh mah god im in algebra and im in 7th grade pown :P
Yeah, that was kind of mean since this person could be in 7th grade algebra and have absolutely no idea. Especially because u don't know how to spell reciprocal. Gosh people! >:(
I'm in the 7th grade doing 9th grade algebra, college grammar, writing, and science, and 12th grade history, And I didn't know this. Don't bash people for what they don't know. D0:
It is 0. But some people say 0 does not have a reciprocal.
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.
Zero does not have a reciprocal.
It is 0. But some people say 0 does not have a reciprocal.
no
Every number except zero has a reciprocal.
Zero.
That number is zero.
Zero
Zero doesn't have a negative reciprocal. Zero doesn't have a reciprocal at all. It's zero. Zilch, nix, zip, nada, diddly-squat.
Zero, since you can't divide by zero.
Zero
The number zero.
Reciprocal of any non - zero number [other than 1 (because reciprocal of 1 is 1)]is always less than '1' .============================The first contributor disputes the change:Sorry, Anu. What about the non-zero number 0.5, whose reciprocal is 2 ? ? ?
