Question

the additive inverse and multiplicative inverse of 1/2 are -2 and 2 respectively.True or False and tell why?

Answer 1

Answer:

false

-1/2 , 2 are the additive and multiplicarive inverse of 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse: An additive inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on adding with the original number results in zero value.

So additive inverse of 1/2 = -1/2

Because 1/2 + (-1/2) = 0

Multiplicative inverse:  An multiplicative inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on multiplying with the original number results in one.

So multiplicative inverse of 1/2 = 2

Because 2 × (1/2) = 1

So additive inverse and multiplicative inverse 1/2 are -1/2 and 2

∴ Given statement is false.
