The correct Answer is:
To find the reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{x} \) where \( x \neq 0 \), we follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the concept of reciprocal**: The reciprocal of a number is obtained by flipping its numerator and denominator. For any fraction \( \frac{a}{b} \), the reciprocal is \( \frac{b}{a} \). 2. **Identify the given fraction**: In this case, the given fraction is \( \frac{1}{x} \). 3. **Flip the fraction**: To find the reciprocal, we interchange the numerator and the denominator: \[ \text{Reciprocal of } \frac{1}{x} = \frac{x}{1} \] 4. **Simplify the fraction**: Since \( \frac{x}{1} \) is simply \( x \), we can write: \[ \text{Reciprocal of } \frac{1}{x} = x \] ### Final Answer: The reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{x} \) where \( x \neq 0 \) is \( x \). ---
