What is the sum of a fractional number and its additive inverse?
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
What is the difference between additive identity and additive inverse?
The additive inverse is a number subtracted it's self is 0: x + (-x) = 0 The additive identity is a number plus/minus 0 is itself: x +/- 0 = x They're very similar
What is the opposite of nine?
The number (-9) is the additive inverse of 9.Inverse operations can also be used to find the additive inverse of a specific number. For example, -9 is the additive inverse of 9 since the sum of -9 and 9 is 0. Additive inverses come in pairs; 9 is the additive inverse of -9, just as -9 is the additive inverse of 9. Any two numbers are additive inverses if they add up to 0.Visualize a pair of additive inverses on the number line. The number 9 and its additive inverse -9 are both nine units away from 0 but on opposite sides of 0. For this reason, -9 is called the opposite of 9, and 9 is the opposite of -9. The opposite of a number may be positive or negative.
Will additive inverse always equal 0?
When a number is added to its additive inverse, the result is always 0.
How is the additive inverse property related to the additive identity property?
They have no real relations ofther than being mathmatical properties The additive identity states that any number + 0 is still that number; a+0 = a The additive inverse property states that any number added to its inverse/opposite is zero; a + -a = 0
