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.
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).
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
It is 0.
The sum of any integer ( n ) and zero is ( n ).
The opposite of an integer is the integer that, when added to it, results in a sum of zero. In this case, the opposite of -6 is 6, since -6 + 6 = 0. The opposite integer is also known as the additive inverse.
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).
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).
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
When the two numbers are additive inverses, for example, 4 and -4. Actually that's how "additive inverse" is defined.
It is 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) 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? 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.
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
I assume you mean the additive inverse. The sum of any number and its additive inverse is zero. For example, 7 + (-7) = 0.
The sum of any integer ( n ) and zero is ( n ).
The opposite of an integer is the integer that, when added to it, results in a sum of zero. In this case, the opposite of -6 is 6, since -6 + 6 = 0. The opposite integer is also known as the additive inverse.
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.
