The function that associates a real number $x$ to its reciprocal ${1 \over x}$ is called the reciprocal function. Since ${1 \over x}$ is not defined for $x=0$.
The function defined by, $$\begin{equation} \begin{aligned} f:R - [0] \to R \\ f(x) = {1 \over x} \\\end{aligned} \end{equation} $$ is called the reciprocal function.
