Question

The additive inverse of 1/2 is 2 true or false.why ?

Answer 1

Answer:

False, because 2is multiplicative inverse of 1/2. Additive inverse of 1/2 is -1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

False,  2 is not the additive inverse of $\frac{1}{2}$ ,because when 2 is added to $\frac{1}{2}$ it does not give zero value .

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Additive inverse - To get a result equal to 0, add the original number and the additive inverse by simply changing the sign of the integer.

For instance, if x is the starting number, then -x is x's additive inverse.

According to the question, if we add $\frac{1}{2} and 2$ we get, $\frac{5}{2}$ which is not  zero.

 And the additive inverse of $\frac{1}{2}$ should be $\frac{-1}{2}$ .

Final answer:

Hence, it is false that, the additive inverse of $\frac{1}{2}$ is 2 .
