What is the additive inverse of 78?
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.
If two numbers are opposite of each other are their reciprocals also opposite of each other?
i think it is
What do you call two opposite numbers whose sum is zero?
These are often called "opposite numbers". The more precise term is "additive inverse". For example, the additive inverse of 5 is minus 5.
If you have a product of two numbers and you find the product of the opposites of the numbers you get the same result.?
yes. An opposite number is the negative of a positive number, for example -5 and +5 are opposite numbers. Since minus x plus is minus and plus x minus is minus and plus x plus is plus and minus x minus is plus then the product of opposites is the same.
What is the product of two numbers that are opposite reciprocals?
I have a feeling that you wrote "opposite reciprocals"where you only needed to write "reciprocals".Their product is ' 1 '.
