Opposite, as in additive inverse, is +4. Opposite, as in multiplicative inverse, is -1/4
positive number because on a scale of zero, the negatives are going to the left side and the opposite side has the same number but opposite, in this case, negative 4 is the opposite of 4
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
The opposite of a positive number is a negative number. For example, the positive number 5 becomes the negative number -5 (minus five).Both numbers are the same distance either side of zero (-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. The opposite of a square root would be the negative square root of the same number, as it would also multiply by itself to give the original number. For example, the square root of 4 is 2, and the opposite of the square root of 4 would be -2.
