What is the opposite of nine?
The number (-9) is the additive inverse of 9.Inverse operations can also be used to find the additive inverse of a specific number. For example, -9 is the additive inverse of 9 since the sum of -9 and 9 is 0. Additive inverses come in pairs; 9 is the additive inverse of -9, just as -9 is the additive inverse of 9. Any two numbers are additive inverses if they add up to 0.Visualize a pair of additive inverses on the number line. The number 9 and its additive inverse -9 are both nine units away from 0 but on opposite sides of 0. For this reason, -9 is called the opposite of 9, and 9 is the opposite of -9. The opposite of a number may be positive or negative.
What is the inverse of 9 under addition?
The additive inverse of 9 is -9.
What is an inverse number?
An inverse number is an opposing number of the standard number. For example, if a standard number is 12 then the inverse is -12.
How does inverse function work?
Let's illustrate with an example. The square function takes a number as its input, and returns the square of a number. The opposite (inverse) function is the square root (input: any non-negative number; output: the square root). For example, the square of 3 is 9; the square root of 9 is 3. The idea, then, is that if you apply first a function, then its inverse, you get the original number back.
How is the subtraction of integers related to the addition of integers?
It's the inverse operation. 3 + 6 = 9, 9 - 6 = 3
