No.
Although there are no signs - thanks to this browser, the multiplicative identity should involve the number 1.
The Identity Property, Multiplicative Identity I think it's called... the Additive Identity Property is the number 0... asi: 0+88.
the answer will equal its # ex: 8+0=8
why is one called the multiplicative identity
Any number multiplied by 1 remains the same.One is called the Multiplicative Identity.Multiplying any number by one is an example of the Multiplicative Identity Property of One.The multiplicative identity states that:A x 1 = A

The property of multiplicative identity, i, of a set S is an element, is that for every element x in S,x * i = x = i * x
The multiplicative inverse of -3 is -(1/3) or negative one-third. The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that you multiply it by to get a result of 1 (the multiplicative identity). So, since -3 times -(1/3) is 1, -(1/3) is the multiplicative inverse of -3. Similarly, +3 is the ADDITIVE inverse of -3. The additive inverse of a number is the number you add to it to get a result of 0 (the additive identity). So, since -3 + (+3) = 0, +3 is the additive inverse of -3. The original answer given here was that the multiplicative inverse of -3 is +3, which is flat incorrect.
Another name for a multiplicative inverse is a reciprocal.
There is no multiplicative inverse of 0. By definition, when you multiply a number by its multiplicative inverse, the product is 1. However, when you multiply 0 by anything, the product is 0. Those two statements could not logically co-exist if there were any multiplicative inverse of 0, so there is no such thing.

The answer depends on the context.The additive opposite of a number, X, is the number -X. The two numbers add to make 0 (the additive identity). To get the additive opposite of a number simply change its sign: from + to - or from - to +.The multiplicative opposite of a number, X, is the number 1/X. The two numbers multiply to 1 (the multiplicative identity).
