Additive inverses
additive inverses
One-half and two.
reciprocal
Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on a number line are called "opposites." For example, +5 and -5 are opposites, as they are equidistant from zero but lie on opposite sides of it. They have the same absolute value but different signs.
The numbers are zero and 5. Their product is zero.
additive inverses
Opposite numbers.
Absolute value
One-half and two.
The numbers are 28 and 29.
No, they are not!
reciprocal
For two numbers to be equidistant from zero, one must be the negative of the other. As one is the negative of the other, it is the additive inverse of that number. The sum of an number and its additive inverse is zero.
No.
One or both of the numbers must be zero.
The numbers are zero and 5. Their product is zero.
That is called Absolute Value
