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 is the opposite of the number 10?
The additive inverse is the negative value, -10. The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) is 1/10.
What is the opposite number of the number 10?
-10 or 0.1 are the best candidates. The first being the additive inverse and the second being the multiplicative inverse. But there are other possibilities.
What is the opposite of -2.3?
2.3
What are some non-examples of additive inverse?
Non-examples of additive inverses include pairs of numbers that do not sum to zero. For instance, (2, 3) and (-1, 4) are non-examples because their sums are 5 and 3, respectively. Additionally, any number paired with itself, such as (5, 5), is not an additive inverse since their sum is 10, not zero.
