I think it is the reciprocal.
A number's opposite is the negitave of that number... the opposite of 2 is -2, the opposite of 947283 is -947283.
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
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.
What exactly do you mean when you say "the opposite of a whole number" . . .
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.
That would usually refer to the additive inverse - meaning you change the sign of the number.
The answer depends on whether you mean additive opposite (TRUE) or multiplicative opposite (FALSE).
technically speaking yes the opposite of 5 is -5
The answer will depend on what you mean by "opposite": the additive inverse or the multiplicative inverse.
If by "opposite" you mean its additive inverse, the answer is 0. If by "opposite" you mean its multiplicative inverse, for the number x, it will be (x+1/x).
If by 'opposite' you mean the word for someone of the opposite sex who has the same state or condition expressed in the word, then the opposite of 'bachelorette' is 'bachelor'.
