Answer

-$\sqrt 2$

Work Step by Step

Let's assume that reciprocal of -$\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$ is '$ x$'. By definition, product of a number and its reciprocal is always 1. Therefore- $ -(\frac{1}{\sqrt 2})\times x $ = 1 $x$ = $\frac{1}{-(\frac{1}{\sqrt 2})}$ or $ x$ = -$\sqrt 2$ i.e. reciprocal of -$\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$ is -$\sqrt 2$
