Let have columns and let have columns . The cross-product formulas defining the reciprocal basis give
provided the original scalar triple product is nonzero. Taking determinants yields the reciprocal basis involution identity
When , the displayed reciprocal vectors are undefined, so there is no additional zero-denominator case to evaluate.
