Question

Find the product of additive inverse and multiplicative inverse of (-2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Additive inverse of a term a is −a and its multiplicative inverse is

a

1

Therefore, additive inverse of a term

x

2

−4

x−2

is −

x

2

−4

x−2

and its multiplicative inverse is

x−2

x

2

−4

So, required product of additive inverse and multiplicative inverse of the given term is −

x

2

−4

(x−2)

=−1

Answer 2

Answer:

Additive inverse of (-2)=2

Multiplicative inverse of (-2) = 1/2

Product of additive and multiplicative inverse of (-2) :

= 2 × 1/2

= 2/2

= 1.

Therefore, the product of multiplicative and additive inverse of (-2) is 1.
