The additive inverse of 6+4i is -6-4i since their sum is 0. It is analogous to real numbers where the additive inverse of 6 is -6 since 6+-6 =6-6=0 In the case of complex numbers, we add them by adding the real parts and then adding the imaginary parts. So to find the complex additive inverse of a+bi, we find the inverse of a which is -a and of bi which is -bi and so the additive inverse is -a-bi
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).
The additive inverse of 88 is -88; the additive inverse of -88 is 88. The additive inverse can be though of as the solution of a + x = 0, for any number a.
The additive inverse of -1.13 is 1.13 .
In mathematics, the additive inverse of a numberais the number that, when addedtoa, yields zero. The additive inverse of 7 is -7.
