How do you find an additive inverse?
The additive inverse is just another way of saying the "opposite" of an integer*. The way to find the additive inverse of an integer is by looking at the negative sign (-) or the positive sign (+) or no sign.Example 1a. The opposite of 5 is -5b. The opposite of -6 is 6c. The opposite of -|-12| is -12*An integer is any whole number*.:Letter "c" is just an example of absolute value. It has nothing to do with the procedure of finding the additive inverse:.
Does every integer has an additive inverse?
The additive inverse states that a number added to its opposite will equal zero. A + (-A) = 0. The "opposite" number here is the "negative" of the number. For any number n, the additive inverse is (-1)n. So therefore yes.
When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer 0?
