What are the additive and multiplicative inverses of 5.42?
The additive inverse of a number a is the number -a because a + (-a) = 0. For 5.42, the additive inverse is -5.42 because 5.42 + (-5.42) = 0. The multiplicative inverse of a number a is the number 1/a because a(1/a) = 1. For 5.42, the multiplicative inverse is 1/5.42 = 0.1845.
What is the opposite of -59?
The additive inverse is +59, the multiplicative inverse is -1/59
What is the inverse of -7 plus 5?
It depends on whether you mean additive inverse or multiplicative inverse.
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.
How do you find the opposite of a number?
The answer depends on what you mean by "opposite": whether it is the additive inverse or the multiplicative inverse.
Name the additive inverse and the multiplicative inverse for the number 2.5?
Additive inverse: -2.5 Multiplicative inverse: 0.4
What are the additive and multiplicative inverses of 5.42?
The additive inverse of a number a is the number -a because a + (-a) = 0. For 5.42, the additive inverse is -5.42 because 5.42 + (-5.42) = 0. The multiplicative inverse of a number a is the number 1/a because a(1/a) = 1. For 5.42, the multiplicative inverse is 1/5.42 = 0.1845.
What is the opposite of 101?
The additive inverse is -10.1 The multiplicative inverse is 0.0990099....
What is the difference between multiplicative inverse and additive inverse?
The multiplicative inverse of a non-zero element, x, in a set, is an element, y, from the set such that x*y = y*x equals the multiplicative identity. The latter is usually denoted by 1 or I and the inverse of x is usually denoted by x-1 or 1/x. y need not be different from x. For example, the multiplicative inverse of 1 is 1, that of -1 is -1.The additive inverse of an element, p, in a set, is an element, q, from the set such that p+q = q+p equals the additive identity. The latter is usually denoted by 0 and the additive inverse of p is denoted by -p.
How do you turn 5 and 3-7ths into a multiplicative and a additive inverse?
38/7 x 7/38 = 1 = multiplicative inverse 38/7 + -38/7 = 0 = additive inverse
What is the opposite of -7?
7. The opposite of 7 is -7, so the opposite of -7 is 7.
What is the opposite of -59?
The additive inverse is +59, the multiplicative inverse is -1/59
What number is opposite of 90?
Define opposite. The additive inverse is -90, the multiplicative inverse is 1/90
Multiplicative inverse of -3?
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.
What is the inverse of -7 plus 5?
It depends on whether you mean additive inverse or multiplicative inverse.
What is product additive inverse and multiplicative inverse for each number of -3?
