The multiplicative inverse of -3 is -(1/3) or negative one-third. The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that you multiply it by to get a result of 1 (the multiplicative identity). So, since -3 times -(1/3) is 1, -(1/3) is the multiplicative inverse of -3. Similarly, +3 is the ADDITIVE inverse of -3. The additive inverse of a number is the number you add to it to get a result of 0 (the additive identity). So, since -3 + (+3) = 0, +3 is the additive inverse of -3. The original answer given here was that the multiplicative inverse of -3 is +3, which is flat incorrect.
The multiplicative inverse of -24/7 is -7/24
38/7 x 7/38 = 1 = multiplicative inverse 38/7 + -38/7 = 0 = additive inverse
3 x 1/3 = 1 (1/3 is multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 3)
Flip it upside down. Now you have negative three over four. That's your multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) -3/4
The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.
Multiplicative inverses are two numbers whose product is one.Another name for multiplicative inverse is reciprocal. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. 2/3 X 3/2 = 6/6 = 1. The multiplicative inverse of 7 is 1/7. 7 X 1/7 = 7/7 = 1.
The multiplicative inverse of 3 1/12 is 12/37.
Flip them upside down. The multiplicative inverse of 2/3 is 3/2
3 and a half = 7/2 so its multiplicative inverse is 2/7.

2 1/3 = 7/3 inverse of 7/3 is 3/7
No, the multiplicative inverse is a number that when multiplied by the original gives 1 as the product. Also called the reciprocal. For example the multiplicative inverse of 2/3 is 3/2, because (2/3) x (3/2) = 1. Another example: If the number is -2, then the reciprocal is -1/2, so (-2) x (-1/2) = 1.
find the inverse of (1,-5)(3,-3)(4,-2)
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 = 9so that are 9 two-thirds sections in 6 wholes.
1/3a
2/3 and 3/2 are multiplicative inverses because they multiply to give you the multiplicative identity one.
