Zero
Zero
It is the same as an integer: a counting number, its additive inverse or zero.
to subtract an integer, add its opposite or additive inverse.
Subtracting an integer is the same as adding the additive inverse. In symbols: a - b = a + (-b), where "-b" is the additive inverse (the opposite) of b.
The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero. For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).
Additive Inverse
Zero
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. So therefore yes.
Change its sign.
Zero
The additive inverse of 100 is -100.
The additive inverse is just another way of saying the "opposite" of an integer*. The way to find the additive inverse of an integer is by looking at the negative sign (-) or the positive sign (+) or no sign.Example 1a. The opposite of 5 is -5b. The opposite of -6 is 6c. The opposite of -|-12| is -12*An integer is any whole number*.:Letter "c" is just an example of absolute value. It has nothing to do with the procedure of finding the additive inverse:.
A negative integer is a whole number that is smaller than zero. It is the additive inverse of a positive integer.
The "additive inverse" is essentially the NEGATIVE of a number. The term is used to avoid confusion when taking the negative of a negative integer. The additive inverse of any number n is (-1)n.
The "opposite" of 15 would be its additive inverse, or -15.
It is the same as an integer: a counting number, its additive inverse or zero.
