What is the multiplicative inverse of negative 0.2?
-5
What is the multiplicative inverse of negative 4 over 3?
Flip it upside down. Now you have negative three over four. That's your multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) -3/4
What is the multiplicative inverse of 9?
1/9
What is the multiplicative of -1?
Assuming the question is about the multiplicative inverse, the answer is, -1. It is its own multiplicative inverse.
Multiplicative inverse of -3?
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.
