Is the opposite of a negative number always sometimes or never a negative number?
never a negative number * * * * * ... true if, by opposite, you mean the additive inverse. However, the multplicative inverse is also an opposite. And the multiplicative inverse of a negative number is always negative.
What is the additive inverse of .5?
The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero. For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).
What does x to a negative power mean?
It is the inverse of x to the positive value of that power. So x-a = 1/xa or (1/x)a
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.
Multiplicative inverse of a negative number?
The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
What is the multiplicative inverse of negative one?
1/-1
What is the multiplicative inverse of negative 9?
-9; the multiplicative inverse: -1/9
What is the multiplicative inverse of negative one half?
-2 (negative two) The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) for a number x is 1/x.
What is 1 divided by c negative 1powered in algebra?
1
What is the inverse of -1 over 5?
Negative 5.
What is the multiplicative inverse of negative 7?
-1/7
How do you find the inverse of the slope of the line?
Write the equation of the line in the standrad form: y = mx + c The slope of this line is m The inverse of the slope is then 1/m. Note, that for a line perpendicular to the first, you need the negative inverse, not just the inverse. And the negative inverse of m is -1/m.
What is the multiplcative inverse of negative 3?

What word means the same as the additive inverse of a number?
The "additive inverse" is essentially the NEGATIVE of a number. The term is used to avoid confusion when taking the negative of a negative integer. The additive inverse of any number n is (-1)n.
Is the additive inverse of any rational number is negative?
No. The additive inverse of zero or a negative rational number is not negative.
What is is the multiplicative inverse of negative ten?
To get the multiplicative inverse (a.k.a., the reciprocal) of a number, you need to divide 1 by that number - in this case, 1 divided by (-10).
