negative 4.5
Inverse operations. Additive inverse is not one operation but they are elements of a set.
The additive inverse of a number is what you would add to that number to get zero. For 3, the additive inverse is -3. The multiplicative inverse is what you would multiply by to get one; for 3, the multiplicative inverse is ( \frac{1}{3} ). Thus, the additive inverse of 3 is -3, and the multiplicative inverse is ( \frac{1}{3} ).
(-1/5)
They can be used to move additive terms from one side of an equation to the other.
No. One is the additive inverse of the other.
There is only one additive inverse, and that is -81.
Since subtraction is the inverse function of addition, the additive inverse of one half is minus one half.
Inverse operations. Additive inverse is not one operation but they are elements of a set.
The additive inverse of a number is the negative of that number. Given one number, its additive inverse is the number that needs to be added to it so that the sum is zero. Thus: The additive inverse of 2.5 is -2.5 The additive inverse of -7.998 is 7.998
No.
(-1/5)
Definition for additive inverse:Web definitions:(mathematics) one of a pair of numbers whose sum is zero; the additive inverse of -5 is +5. -56 + 56 = 0SO the additive inverse of 56 is -56 or negative 56
They can be used to move additive terms from one side of an equation to the other.
No. One is the additive inverse of the other.
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.
The multiplicative inverse of -3 is -(1/3) or negative one-third. The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that you multiply it by to get a result of 1 (the multiplicative identity). So, since -3 times -(1/3) is 1, -(1/3) is the multiplicative inverse of -3. Similarly, +3 is the ADDITIVE inverse of -3. The additive inverse of a number is the number you add to it to get a result of 0 (the additive identity). So, since -3 + (+3) = 0, +3 is the additive inverse of -3. The original answer given here was that the multiplicative inverse of -3 is +3, which is flat incorrect.
One example would be a Galois Field size 4 (ie GF(4)). Here, the elements are {0,1,2,3} and every element is its own additive inverse.
