Answer 2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplicative inverse is nothing but the reciprocal of the number.

-2 can be written as -2/1.

So, the reciprocal of -2/1 = -1/2

On the other hand, the additive inverse of a number is a number that is either subtracted or added to give the value 0.

So the additive inverse of -4 is +4. Because -4+4=0.

Now the product of these two numbers = $\frac{-1}{2}$ ×4 → $\frac{-1}{2}$× 4(cancel out 2 and 4)

The final answer will be -2.
