It should also be a positive number. Let x be the numerator and y be the denominator. So you have +x/+y, the reciprocal would be +y/+x.
What is a nonzero real number?
It's any real number distinct from 0. For instance, in the expression x/y, where x and y are real numbers, y needs to be a nonzero real number. This is because otherwise the expression x/y is undefined (viz. x/0).
