On a number line, zero is positioned at the center, with positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left. The concept of an opposite number means that when you add a number and its opposite, the result is zero. Since zero is neither positive nor negative, its opposite is itself; thus, adding zero to zero results in zero. This visually illustrates that zero is its own opposite on the number line.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.
The opposite of zero is zero itself. This is because zero is a unique number that represents the absence of value, and when you consider its opposite, it remains unchanged. Therefore, the statement holds true: the opposite of zero is always zero.
The opposite side of zero from a given number is its additive inverse, which is obtained by changing its sign. For example, if the number is 5, the opposite side of zero would be -5, as both are equidistant from zero on the number line. Similarly, for -3, the opposite side would be +3. This concept applies to both positive and negative numbers.
Zero can be expressed as the sum of any two opposite mixed number.
The opposite of 260 is -260. In mathematical terms, the opposite of a number is its additive inverse, which means that when you add the number to its opposite, the result is zero. Therefore, 260 and -260 together equal zero.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.
Zero does not have an opposite * * * * * While it is true that zero has no multiplicative opposite (or inverse), it certainly has an additive inverse, and that is also zero, since 0 + 0 = 0
A number and its opposite,which add to zero.
The opposite of zero is zero itself. This is because zero is a unique number that represents the absence of value, and when you consider its opposite, it remains unchanged. Therefore, the statement holds true: the opposite of zero is always zero.
The additive opposite is itself and its multiplicative opposite is not defined.
The opposite side of zero from a given number is its additive inverse, which is obtained by changing its sign. For example, if the number is 5, the opposite side of zero would be -5, as both are equidistant from zero on the number line. Similarly, for -3, the opposite side would be +3. This concept applies to both positive and negative numbers.
Zero can be expressed as the sum of any two opposite mixed number.
By numbers at the same distance but on opposite sides of zero.
When x is not zero, it can be (x + 1/x).
The opposite (or inverse) of a number can be defined in a number of different ways. For example, the additive opposite of 4 is -4 but the multiplicative opposite of 4 is 1/4 or 0.25 Since the question concerns the product it would seem more appropriate to use the multiplicative opposite. Then, the product of a number and its opposite will be always 1. Incidentally, the product of a number and its additive opposite will be the negative square of the number. In neither case will it be zero.
The answer depends on what you mean by the "opposite" of a number. A reciprocal is one type of opposite: it is the multiplicative opposite.
Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line but are on opposite sides of zero are opposite numbers, or opposites. The opposite of a number is called its additive inverse. The opposite of 78 is -78.
