The sum of a number and its inverse is 0, because that's what "its inverse" means. Inverse is whatever you need to use to "undo" the operation.
For example, (2)+(-2)=0. If you go forward 2, then backward 2, you are where you started.

What is the sum of an integer and its opposite?
If by "opposite" you mean its additive inverse, the answer is 0. If by "opposite" you mean its multiplicative inverse, for the number x, it will be (x+1/x).
What is the sum of a fractional number and its additive inverse?
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
The sum of integer for 0?
It is 0.
What is the sum of a number plus its opposite?
If by "opposite" you mean "additive inverse", the sum is zero. For example, 5 + (-5) = 0.
What is the value of inverse tangent of 0?
It is k*pi radians or k*180 degrees for integer k
What is the sum of an integer and its opposite?
If by "opposite" you mean its additive inverse, the answer is 0. If by "opposite" you mean its multiplicative inverse, for the number x, it will be (x+1/x).
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 is the sum of a fractional number and its additive inverse?
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer 0?
When the two numbers are additive inverses, for example, 4 and -4. Actually that's how "additive inverse" is defined.
The sum of integer for 0?
It is 0.
When a number is added to its additive inverse what is the sum equal to?
Number + additive inverse of number = 0, by definition (the additive inverse of a number is that number, which when added to the original number, results in a sum of 0) Number + additive inverse of number = 0, by definition (the additive inverse of a number is that number, which when added to the original number, results in a sum of 0)
What is the sum of the first 10 positive integers?
what is the sum of the first 10 positive integers? To me, if you include 0 as the first integer, then the tenth integer is 9 and the sum is 45. If you don't include 0, the tenth integer is 10, and the sum is 55.
What is the additive inverse of -327?
Additive inverse is a number that when added to a given number results in a sum of 0. So the additive inverse of -327 is 327. -327 + 327 = 0
What is the sum of any number and its opposite?
I assume you mean the additive inverse. The sum of any number and its additive inverse is zero. For example, 7 + (-7) = 0.
What do you call integers that add to zero?
Two numbers, which when added together result in zero, are called each other's additive inverse. That is, for two given numbers x and y, if x + y = 0, then y is the additive inverse of x and x is the additive inverse of y.
The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to?
Zero. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5, and 5 + (-5) = 0.
What is the sum of a number plus its opposite?
If by "opposite" you mean "additive inverse", the sum is zero. For example, 5 + (-5) = 0.
