[edit] reciprocal function

Could someone add an article on the reciprocal function? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.10.118 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 26 November 2006

I've created a redirect to this page.--agr 04:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

This page is a bit much as somewhere for someone to end up, if say they're a non-mathematician, and all they want to know what it means when an article says "actually, we're going to work with the reciprocal of this equation".

So I think a separate stub article for reciprocal (mathematics) would be useful. Jheald 21:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Inverse of zero?

The article says that zero does not have an inverse... WELL, lim x->0+ of 1/x = infinity and lim x->0- of 1/x = -infinity. So the inverse of 0 should be +/- infinity, should it not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Boldt (talk • contribs) 02:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I changed the wording a little to fix this. Ben Boldt (talk) 02:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
