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.
opposite
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.
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.
These are often called "opposite numbers". The more precise term is "additive inverse". For example, the additive inverse of 5 is minus 5.
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 88 is -88; the additive inverse of -88 is 88. The additive inverse can be though of as the solution of a + x = 0, for any number a.
32, additive inverse just means the opposite
Define opposite. The additive inverse is -90, the multiplicative inverse is 1/90
The opposite of a number.
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.
Find the additive inverse (opposite) of: 18/23
7. The opposite of 7 is -7, so the opposite of -7 is 7.
They are called the additive inverses!
The additive inverse is -10.1 The multiplicative inverse is 0.0990099....
Opposite sign? Additive inverse.
The answer depends on what you mean by "opposite": whether it is the additive inverse or the multiplicative inverse.
