What is the additive inverse of 9.1?
We are talking group theory here. A group with addition has an additive inverse. A group with multiplication has a multiplicative inverse. The additive inverse of a number x is a y with x + y = 0. The additive inverse of x is written -x. Hence, the additive inverse of 9.1 equals -9.1. The reason that this question can arise is that beyond groups, there are rings and fields. Rings and fields have, besides addition, also multiplication. An element can have an additive inverse and a multiplicative inverse at the same time.
Is distance traveled versus time at a constant speed a direct or inverse porportion?
Think about it. If you travel for more time, would you advance a greater distance (that would be a direct proportion), or less distance (that would be an inverse proportion)?
Definition of Inverse property of addition?

What are the two sets of inverse operations?
Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
What is the inverse for numbers under addition?
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.
