How do you solve multplicative inverses to solve equations?
The multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, of a number "x", is "1/x". For example, the multiplicative inverse of 5 is 1/5. For a fraction, just exchange numerator and denominator. For example, the multiplicative inverse of 2/5 is 5/2.
Definition of Inverse property of addition?
* *It is the reverse of the actionEx.Addition is the inverse of subtrationmultiplication is the inverse of division
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.
What does the word inverse mean in math terms?
Mathematically, an inverse is an opposite, it is something that reverses what its inverse does, for example, addition and subtraction are inverse functions, as are multiplication and division. The inverse of a fraction is obtained by exchanging numerator and denominator; the inverse of a half is two.
