Zero is not opposite infinity. If all opposites sum to zero than zero+infinity do not. Zero can be difined as (x-x), or two exact opposites. When dividing zero one arrives at 0/x=0 but through algebra 0(0) must = x. When zero is in a finite system (x-x)+x=x One finds that zero retains its self nullifying properties. Yet in divisions and multiplications zero takes on properties other than its own. Groups of zero, or only zero produce something, but when there is something zero keeps self nullification.
But it IS its own ADDITIVE opposite.
Zero is the middle. The neutral. There has to be something to separate the positive and the negative.
Zero is the only number that's its own opposite. While 0 is technically not signed (it's neither positive nor negative), it meets the definition for being its own opposite because 0 + 0 = 0.
The opposite of zero - in the sense of additive inverse - is zero.
Apart from zero (which is its own opposite), the opposites of whole numbers are also whole numbers. You have the set of whole numbers which is also known as the set of integers.

zero is its own opposite. 0 + -0 = 0

The opposite of zero - in the sense of additive inverse - is zero.
Because 1, 1 has the opposite of -1 and the in between is zero so there is nothing for zero to be opposite to except 2, itself. If you were to actually look at the shape of 0 on a computer or phone you would notice that it is symmetrical so the opposite to one side is the other. One half is on the negative side of numbers while one half is on the positive.
zero has no opposite * * * * * While it is true that zero has no multiplicative opposite (or inverse), it certainly has an additive inverse, and that is also zero, since 0 + 0 = 0
Zero does not have an opposite * * * * * While it is true that zero has no multiplicative opposite (or inverse), it certainly has an additive inverse, and that is also zero, since 0 + 0 = 0
Sometimes. The opposite of zero depends on the type of function under consideration. For example, the additive opposite of zero is zero. The multiplicative opposite is not defined.
The additive opposite is itself and its multiplicative opposite is not defined.
