Question

additive inverse of a/b​

Answer 1

The additive inverse of any real number is the one that when summed with the real number, its sum must be equal to zero.

Let "a" be a real number and let "b" be another real number if:

a+ b = 0

Then it is said that "b" is the additive inverse of "a" and that "a" is the additive inverse of "b".

Thus the additive inverse of "a/b" is "- a/b" because:

a/b + (- a/b) = a/b - a/b = 0

Note: a negative fraction can be written as
