Question

Additive inverse of −4 is _____

Answer 1

Given: A number $-4.$

We have to find the additive inverse of the given number.

For this, we are using the concept of the additive inverse.

As we know that, the additive inverse of a number is what we add to a number to create the sum of zero.

Since $(4)+(-4)=0$ then $4$ is the Additive inverse of $-4.$

Hence, additive Inverse of $-4$is$4.$

Answer 2

Given,

$-4$

We have to find the additive inverse of $-4$

Definition of additive inverse: In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero. This number is also known as the opposite, sign change, and negation.

So,

Additive inverse of $-4$ is $+4$

According to the definition,

$-4+4=0$

Therefore, additive inverse of $-4$ is $+4$.
