Question

Multiplicative inverse of a negative rational number is always a negative rational number true/false​

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiplicative inverse of a negative rational number is always a negative rational number

IT IS TRUE

We know that, the product of two rational numbers is 1, taken they are multiplication inverse of each other, e.g.

Suppose, p is negative rational number, i.e.

1p is the  multiplicative inverse of-p, then, -p x 1−p = 1

Hence, multiplicative inverse of a negative rational number is a negative rational number.
