Answer

As x gets large, 1/x becomes smaller, and as x gets small, 1/x becomes bigger.

Work Step by Step

To complete the table, take the value of x and take its reciprocal (divide 1 by it). For example, if x=2, 1/x = 1/2 = 0.5. As the values of x get bigger, it is clear that the value of 1/x gets smaller. As the values of x get smaller, it is clear that the value of 1/x gets bigger.
