Answer:
Additive inverse:
+
4
3
5
Multiplicative inverse (reciprocal)
−
5
23
Explanation:
Additive inverses add up to zero.
This means that the numbers are the same, but they have opposite signs.
(
−
3
)
+
(
+
3
)
=
0
or
(
+
x
)
+
(
−
x
)
=
0
So in this case, the additive inverse of
−
4
3
5
is
+
4
3
5
The multiplicative inverse is also known as the reciprocal.
Multiplicative inverses multiply to give

2
=

or
a
b
×
b
a
=
1
In this case:
−
