Divide 1 by the number. The multiplicative inverse of 7 is 1/7, for example.

What is the multiplicative inverse of 4 i?

The multiplicative inverse of a complex number is found by taking the reciprocal of the number. In this case, the reciprocal of 4i is -1/4i. To find the reciprocal, you divide 1 by the complex number, which results in -1/4i. This is the multiplicative inverse of 4i.


How do you determine the multiplicative inverse of a number?

The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal, meaning the multiplicative inverse of the rational number a/b is b/a. In the specialized case for integers, the multiplicative inverse of n is 1/n. This is due to the fact that a/b * b/a = 1 and n * 1/n = 1, which is the definition of a multiplicative inverse. More succinctly, to find the multiplicative inverse you "flip" the fraction or integer around to its reciprocal. This is the number that when multiplied with the original number results in a product of 1.


How do you find the opposite of a number?

The answer depends on what you mean by "opposite": whether it is the additive inverse or the multiplicative inverse.

What is the multiplicative inverse of 4 plus i?

The multiplicative inverse of a complex number is the reciprocal of that number. To find the multiplicative inverse of 4 + i, we first need to find the conjugate of 4 + i, which is 4 - i. The product of a complex number and its conjugate is always a real number. Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of 4 + i is (4 - i) / ((4 + i)(4 - i)) = (4 - i) / (16 + 1) = (4 - i) / 17.

Additive inverse: change all signs. Multiplicative inverse: flip it over.


What is the definition of multiplicitive inverse?

The definition of an multipilicative inverse is a number that's times by the known number to attain a product of one. To find the multiplicative inverse is the same thing as the recipricol of the number. To find the multiplicitive inverse or recipricol of a number, first turn the number into a fraction, then switch the numerator and denominator around. The result is your multiplicitive inverse.


How do you find the multiplicative inverse of whole number and a fraction?

I guess you mean a mixed fraction, such as 5 2/3, which basically means 5 + 2/3. To get the multiplicative inverse, you must first convert the fraction to an improper fraction (in this example, 17/3). Then, to get the multiplicative inverse, you exchange top and bottom (in this example, 3/17). Note that to do the conversion, I multiplied 5 x 3, and added 2 to the result. This number (17) goes into the numerator (top); the denominator (bottom) doesn't change.
