Since subtraction is the inverse function of addition, the additive inverse of one half is minus one half.
-1/2
-1 is the additive inverse of 1.
usually this means positive numbers and their negative counterparts. The opposite of a number is its additive inverse. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero. (This is sometimes called the property of opposites, or additive inverse property). Example: -999 + 999 = 0; therefore -999 and 999 are additive inverse (1/3) + (-1/3) = 0; therefore 1/3 and -1/3 are additive inverse 1 + (-1) = 0; therefore 1 and -1 are additive inverse a + (-a) = 0; therefore a and -a are additive inverse, So, the opposite of -999 is 999; the opposite of 1/3 is -1/3; the opposite of 1 is -1, and the opposite of a is -a.
The additive inverse of 18 is -18. The additive inverse of any number is the opposite of that number, such that the sum of the original number and the additive inverse is zero.
The additive inverse of x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.
-1/2
(-1/5)
-1 is the additive inverse of 1.
The additive inverse means what undoes adding. The additive inverse of +1 is -1.
1
The greatest negative integer is -1. The additive inverse of a number is the value that, when added to the original number, results in zero. Therefore, the additive inverse of -1 is +1.
The additive inverse of a number is what you would add to that number to get zero. For 3, the additive inverse is -3. The multiplicative inverse is what you would multiply by to get one; for 3, the multiplicative inverse is ( \frac{1}{3} ). Thus, the additive inverse of 3 is -3, and the multiplicative inverse is ( \frac{1}{3} ).
Find the additive inverse (opposite) of: 18/23
-1/32
-1
Every integer has its own additive inverse, which is simply the integer multiplied by -1. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5, and the additive inverse of -3 is 3. Therefore, all integers, including zero, have their own additive inverses. In summary, any integer ( x ) has an additive inverse of ( -x ).
The additive inverse of a number a is the number -a because a + (-a) = 0. For 5.42, the additive inverse is -5.42 because 5.42 + (-5.42) = 0. The multiplicative inverse of a number a is the number 1/a because a(1/a) = 1. For 5.42, the multiplicative inverse is 1/5.42 = 0.1845.
