What does the mathematical term ''Multiplicative Inverse'' mean?
The multiplicative inverse of a number (other than zero) is the number such that the product of the two is 1. Thus, the multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x.
Does every non-zero number have a multiplicative inverse?
Every non zero number has a multiplicative inverse, which is 1 divided by that number. This stands for both real and complex numbers. This can be proved by letting x=some non zero number. x*(1/x)=x/x=1, therefore the multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x.
What is zero product property?
Multiplicative Inverse of a NumberReciprocal The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal. For example, the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 12 is and the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of is . Note: The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1. Observe that ·= 1. Multiplicative Inverse of a NumberReciprocal The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal. For example, the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 12 is and the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of is . Note: The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1. Observe that ·= 1.
Is the only rational number which is equal to it's additive inverse?
Zero.
Which real number does not have a multiplicative inverse and why?
That number is zero. It has no inverse because there is no number that you can multiply by zero to get one; to put this another way; The equation 0x= 1 has no solution, bacause 0x = 0 for all real numbers x.
Does the set of rational numbers have a multiplicative inverse?
Yes, and for any non-zero rational x, the multiplicative inverse is 1/x.
What is the multiplication inverse of any number?
The multiplicative inverse of a number is : 1/number i.e., one divided by the number. This doesn't apply to zero. Zero has no multiplicative inverse.
What are the elements in rational numbers having multiplicative inverse?
All rational numbers, with the exception of zero (0), have a multiplicative inverse. In fact, all real numbers (again, except for zero) have multiplicative inverses, though the inverses of irrational numbers are themselves irrational. Even imaginary numbers have multiplicative inverses (the multiplicative inverse of 5i is -0.2i - as you can see the inverse itself is also imaginary). Even complex numbers (the sum of an imaginary number and a real number) have multiplicative inverses (the inverse of [5i + 2] is [-5i/29 + 2/29] - similar to irrational and imaginary numbers, the inverse of a complex number is itself complex). The onlynumber, in any set of numbers, that does not have a multiplicative inverse is zero.
What does the mathematical term ''Multiplicative Inverse'' mean?
The multiplicative inverse of a number (other than zero) is the number such that the product of the two is 1. Thus, the multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x.
How do you multiplicative an inverse when its a whole number?
The multiplicative inverse of any non-zero integer, N is 1/N.
What is the mulitplicative inverse of -6?
The multiplicative inverse of a number is any number that will multiply by it to make zero. Here, the multiplicative inverse of -6 is -(1/6), or negative one sixth.
Is the inverse of a rational number also rational?
Always, unless the original number is zero. This does not have an inverse.
Does every non-zero number have a multiplicative inverse?
Every non zero number has a multiplicative inverse, which is 1 divided by that number. This stands for both real and complex numbers. This can be proved by letting x=some non zero number. x*(1/x)=x/x=1, therefore the multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x.
Is the multiplicative inverse of zero exist?
No.

Does the number zero have an opposite number?
Zero does not have an opposite * * * * * While it is true that zero has no multiplicative opposite (or inverse), it certainly has an additive inverse, and that is also zero, since 0 + 0 = 0
Is the additive inverse of any rational number is negative?
No. The additive inverse of zero or a negative rational number is not negative.
