reciprocal fn (ReciprocalFn)

(ReciprocalFn number) is the reciprocal element of number with respect to the multiplication operator (MultiplicationFn), i.e. 1/number. Not all numbers have a reciprocal element. For example the number 0 does not. If a number number has a reciprocal recip, then the product of number and recip will be 1, e.g. 3*1/3 = 1. The reciprocal of an element is equal to applying the ExponentiationFn function to the element to the power -1.
