The multiplicative inverse for the number x is the number 1/x, such that their product is 1. The name for a multiplicative inverse is the reciprocal (opposite).
The multiplicative inverse of a fraction is found by making the numerator the denominator and the denomination the numerator, such that the reciprocal of 3/4 would be 4/3. You are simply "flipping the fraction over."
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its inverse, or reciprocal.
Example: 6 divided by 2/3 = 6 times 3/2 = 18/2 = 9
so that are 9 two-thirds sections in 6 wholes.
The answer depends on the context. There are opposite numbers that can be the additive inverses, or multiplicative inverses.
2/3 and 3/2 are multiplicative inverses because they multiply to give you the multiplicative identity one.
reciprocals, multiplicative inverses
Rational numbers and Real Numbers. The multiplicative inverses of integers are not integers.
there are pseudo inverses for non-square matrices a square matrix has an inverse only if the original matrix has full rank which implies that no vector is annihilated by the matrix as a multiplicative operator
Reciprocals, or multiplicative inverses
i dint know thats why asked for "Answers"
The answer is -1/2 . Pairs of number that multiply together to get 1 are called multiplicative inverses of each other.
All rational numbers, with the exception of zero (0), have a multiplicative inverse. In fact, all real numbers (again, except for zero) have multiplicative inverses, though the inverses of irrational numbers are themselves irrational. Even imaginary numbers have multiplicative inverses (the multiplicative inverse of 5i is -0.2i - as you can see the inverse itself is also imaginary). Even complex numbers (the sum of an imaginary number and a real number) have multiplicative inverses (the inverse of [5i + 2] is [-5i/29 + 2/29] - similar to irrational and imaginary numbers, the inverse of a complex number is itself complex). The onlynumber, in any set of numbers, that does not have a multiplicative inverse is zero.
It is the "reciprocal" although this term is usually restricted to inverses of integers.
reciprocals or multiplicative inverses
Opposites in math are called inverses. There are two of these inverses: an additive and a multiplicative. The additive inverse of a number is that number multiplied by -1. If this is added to the number, then the result will be 0. The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal. This is the number converted into a fraction then flipped. If you multiply a number with its multiplicative inverse, the result will be 1.
