Any negative/positive number pair will give you two integers that are equidistant from 0. For instance 1 and -1, or 234 and -234. The distance from zero is referred to as the "absolute value" of the number.
Opposites
An Integer
Because that is how the opposite of a number is defined.
The opposite of an integer is the integer that, when added to it, results in a sum of zero. In this case, the opposite of -6 is 6, since -6 + 6 = 0. The opposite integer is also known as the additive inverse.
The absolute value of a number isn't the opposite of that number. Think of it as the distance of that number to zero, which can only be positive. If you understand that, then in math problems you can simply think of leaving positive numbers positive and making negative numbers positive.
Opposites
A non-integer.
An Integer
46
The opposite of 243 is -243.
Because that is how the opposite of a number is defined.
Integers. They are pretty much any whole number. (This includes negative numbers)
technically speaking yes the opposite of 5 is -5
The opposite of an integer is the integer that, when added to it, results in a sum of zero. In this case, the opposite of -6 is 6, since -6 + 6 = 0. The opposite integer is also known as the additive inverse.
An integer less than 0 would be at the same distance from 0 as its positive equivalent, but would lie on the opposite side (left) of the 0.
An integer is just a whole number, excluding zero. Any positive integer will always have an opposite just by placing a negative sign in front of the positive integer. You can also say that any negative whole number is an integer.
The additive opposite of the additive opposite is the number itself. The multiplicative opposite of the multiplicative opposite is the number itself, unless the number was 0, in which case the first opposite is not defined.
