Can the additive inverse of any rational number negative?
Yes, almost half of them have additive inverses which are negative.
What do you call a negative and a positive number that is the same distance away from zero?
A pair of additive inverses. If the word "additive" is not used, there is no way of differentiating from multiplicative inverses: x and 1/x which multiply to 1.
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 a example of addition inverses in math?
The additive inverse of a real number is the number that when added to it equals zero, the identity element for addition. That is, the additive inverse of any real number x is -x.
What is a whole number and it's opposite of zero?
They are bot whole numbers and, if not 0, they form a pair of additive inverses.
