### Problem Description

Compute \(\frac{1}{\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}}\), where \(\mathbf{u} = \begin{bmatrix} -4 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}\).

### Mathematical Expression
\[
\frac{1}{\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}}
\]

### Solution Process
To solve this, follow these steps:

1. **Compute the dot product** \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}\).

   For \(\mathbf{u} = \begin{bmatrix} -4 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}\), the dot product \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}\) is calculated as follows:
   \[
   \mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u} = (-4)^2 + (3)^2 = 16 + 9 = 25
   \]

2. **Compute the reciprocal** of this value:
   \[
   \frac{1}{\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}} = \frac{1}{25}
   \]

\[
\frac{1}{\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}} = \boxed{\frac{1}{25}}
\]

### Final Answer
\[
\frac{1}{\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}} = \frac{1}{25}
\]

(Type an integer or simplified fraction for each matrix element.)
