It is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is written as inverse of the number

For a number x, reciprocal = 1/x

For number 0, it's inverse if we follow the process above = 1/0

And 1/0 = infinity

But because if we multiply the inverse by its value, it will not give a value of 1

using 1/x forexample: 1/x × x = 1

But 1/0 × 0 ≠ 1

reciprocal of 0 = 1/0

opposite reciprocal of 0 = negative reciprocal of 0

opposite reciprocal of 0 = - 1/0

The result is undefined
