It gives closure to the set of real numbers with regard to the binary operation of addition. This makes the set a ring.
The additive inverse is used, sometimes implicitly, in subtraction.
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
-45
The additive inverse of 41 is -41. An additive inverse is the number that will make the sum equal zero.
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
negative of a number gives its additive inverse
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).
-129
What is additive inverse
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
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 x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.
Used as additive inverse
They can be used to move additive terms from one side of an equation to the other.
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.
-1 is the additive inverse of 1.
The additive inverse of -1.13 is 1.13 .
