It is the sign that is opposite, not the number But if the number magnitude is the same, it is correct to say that ,for example, negative 6 is the opposite of positive six. But negative 4 is not the opposite of negative 8, for example
The answer will always be Negative in Sign. If they are the same sign, it will always be Positive in Sign.
NO, 8 and 4 cannot be opposite integers.Integers can be opposite by the difference in sign conversion of the same number. 8 and -8 are opposite.
In number systems , the opposite of the number can be represented by changing and reversing the sign of the number. If 0.93 is the number then the opposite of the number would be -0.93
Additive OppositeAn opposite of a number is the number with the opposite sign, but same absolute value.Basically, 3 has the opposite -3, -47's opposite is 47 (opposite of n is -n).Just take 0-(n) where n is the number in question (there is no opposite for 0).Usually it means the opposite sign -- if originally positive, the opposite is a negative; if originally negative, the opposite is positive.Multiplicative OppositeThe reciprocal of a number n is 1/n so that multiplication or division by a number is the inverse (division or multiplication) using its reciprocal.Example : 7 divided by 1/3 is equal to 7 times 3 = 21 (there are 21 one-thirds in 7).By itself, nothing. There are different meanings in different contexts.
It is the number with the same magnitude (absolute value) and the opposite sign.
The opposite of -57 is 57. The opposite of a number is the number with the same absolute value but with an opposite sign.
It is the sign that is opposite, not the number But if the number magnitude is the same, it is correct to say that ,for example, negative 6 is the opposite of positive six. But negative 4 is not the opposite of negative 8, for example

NO, 8 and 4 cannot be opposite integers.Integers can be opposite by the difference in sign conversion of the same number. 8 and -8 are opposite.
Think of it like this:The product of a negative number times a number (call it B), will be the opposite sign of the sign of number B.The product of a positive number times a number B, will have the same sign as the sign of number B.
To add two integers with opposite signs . . . -- Ignore the signs, and write the difference between the two numbers. -- Give it the same sign as the larger original number has.
Opposite sign? Additive inverse.
The additive opposite of a positive is a negative, and the opposite of a negative is a positive. If you reverse the sign twice (opposite of opposite) you have the original number. The same applies to an inverse (multiplicative opposite): the inverse of any inverse for a nonzero number is the original number. n (1/n)(n) = n
In number systems , the opposite of the number can be represented by changing and reversing the sign of the number. If 0.93 is the number then the opposite of the number would be -0.93
They are called the additive inverses!
1 divided by a number with an exponent is the same as the number to the exponent of opposite sign. For example 1 divided by 2 to the third power is the same as 2 to the minus 3 power
