Yes
No. The additive inverse of zero or a negative rational number is not negative.
The additive inverse of EVERY positive rational number is a negative number.
As far as positive numbers are concerned, the additive inverse of a positive number is a negative number with the same magnitude (i.e. the additive inverse of 5 is -5). It would be wrong to simply say that "negative" and "additive inverse" are correct, because the additive inverse of a negative number is a positive number.
Yes, that's correct. The additive inverse of a negative number is its positive counterpart. For example, the additive inverse of -5 is +5. This relationship holds true for all negative numbers, as the additive inverse is defined as the number that, when added to the original number, results in zero.
The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
never a negative number * * * * * ... true if, by opposite, you mean the additive inverse. However, the multplicative inverse is also an opposite. And the multiplicative inverse of a negative number is always negative.

multiply it by zero, or add its inverse {the negative of the number} Note that the inverse of a negative number is positive.

It would be wrong to simply say that "negative" and "additive inverse" are correct, because the additive inverse of a negative number is a positive number.
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 multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
negative of a number gives its additive inverse
Additive Inverse would be the number that when added to a given number creates a total of zero. The additive inverse for any negative number would be the positive counterpart. The additive inverse of -5 is 5. The additive inverse of -2 is 2, since -2 + 2 = 0.
To find the inverse of a number, you take its reciprocal. For a non-zero number ( x ), the inverse is ( \frac{1}{x} ). If you are looking for the additive inverse, it is simply the negative of the number, which is ( -x ).
Additive Inverse would be the number that when added to a given number creates a total of zero. The additive inverse for any negative number would be the positive counterpart. The additive inverse of -5 is 5. The additive inverse of -2 is 2, since -2 + 2 = 0.
A number and its multiplicative inverse have the same sign. So if one is negative, so is the other.
