Question

check if the following pairs are additive inverses of each other : (a) 11/15 ,-11/15 (b) -25/52, 25/52 ​

Answer 1

Yes both a and b are additive inverse of one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

We say a number is in additive inverse when the the sum of two numbers is 0.

If we take the above examples

In a) 11/15+(-11/15)=0

In b) (-25/52)+ 25/52=0

Thus, 0 is the additive inverse.

NOTE: 0 is itself an additive inverse
