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 sum of a fractional number and its additive inverse?
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
What is the additive inverse of a negative number?
Additive Inverse would be the number that when added to a given number creates a total of zero. The additive inverse for any negative number would be the positive counterpart. The additive inverse of -5 is 5. The additive inverse of -2 is 2, since -2 + 2 = 0.
What is the difference between additive identity and additive inverse?
The additive inverse is a number subtracted it's self is 0: x + (-x) = 0 The additive identity is a number plus/minus 0 is itself: x +/- 0 = x They're very similar
What is the additive inverse of 41?
The additive inverse of 41 is -41. An additive inverse is the number that will make the sum equal zero.
