Question

difference between additive inverse and identity

Answer 1

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 (number),sign change, and negation. For a real number, it reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is positive. Zero is the additive inverse of itself.

Answer 2

the opposite of a number is called the additive inverse and a number and opposite is added to 0 , that is additive identity
