What is the Multiplicative Identity for rational numbers?
It is 1, as it is for all complex numbers - which includes real numbers.
Which number is known as the additive identity which number is the multiplicative identity?
Additive identity: zero. Multiplicative identity: one.
What is the multiplicative inverse of a whole number?
Let m be a whole number, then the multiplicative inverse of m is a number n such that mn=1 since 1 is the multiplicative identity. There is only one choice for n, it is 1/m since m(1/m)=1
What is the multiplicative identity for a rational number?
One.
What type of number is one?
It isa natural numberan integera rational numbera real numbera complex numberIt is also the multiplicative identity of each of the above sets of numbers.
Does the set of rational numbers have multiplicative identity?
Yes. The multiplicative identity for the rational numbers is 1 (also can be written as 1/1).
What is the multicative identity of -3?
-3 does not have a multiplicative identity in the set of real numbers.
What is the multiplicative identity of 2?
The multiplicative identity is a property of a set of numbers, not of an individual number in the set. 1 is the multiplicative identity for the set of all integers, rationals or reals etc. Individual elements of the set do have a multiplicative INVERSE and for 2, this is 1/2 or 0.5
Does the set of rational numbers have a multiplicative identity?
Yes, it is 1.
What is the Multiplicative Identity for rational numbers?
It is 1, as it is for all complex numbers - which includes real numbers.
What is called the multiplicative identity for whole numbers and why is it called this?
The multiplicative identity is the number 1. Why? Because if you multiply (or divide) a number by 1, it remains the same. eg a x 1 = a In a similar manner, the additive identity is 0. If you add (or subtract) 0 from a number, it remains the same eg a + 0 = a.
Which number is known as the additive identity which number is the multiplicative identity?
Additive identity: zero. Multiplicative identity: one.
Why is one called the multiplicative identity?
why is one called the multiplicative identity
What property would 17x1 equals 17 be?
The fact that 1 is the multiplicative identity for numbers.
When you multiply a number and 1 the product is that number?
Yes. 1 is the multiplicative identity for numbers.
What is the definition of multiplicative inverse?
In a set S, the multiplicative inverse of a non-zero element x is an element of the set, y, such that x*y = y*x = i, the identity element of S. For the set of numbers, the multiplicative identity is 1 and the multiplicative identity is also denoted by 1/x or x^-1.
What is the math property of 1m equals m?
It is the property that 1 is the multiplicative identity for sets of numbers.
