Question #8b382

Answer 1

`-7/2`.

Explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is another number which has a product of `1` when multiplied with the initial number. So if `ab=1` then `a` is the reciprocal of `b` and `b` is the reciprocal of `a`. For fractions, reversing the numerator and the denominator is a quick way to intuitively find the reciprocal. To do so with a calculator, simply divide `1` by the number you want to find the reciprocal of. Also, you can't divide by `0` so `0` is the reciprocal of no number (and likewise no number has a reciprocal equal to `0`)
