Question

The additive inverse of a negative integer (A) is always negative (B) is always positive (C) is the same integer (D) zero

Answer 1

Given:

A negative integer

To find:

Additive inverse

Solution:

Additive inverse of a number:

Let a is a number .

If a+b=0

Then, b is additive inverse of a .

Suppose a negative integer -1

Using the definition of additive inverse

-1+1=0

Therefore, 1 is additive inverse of -1.

Hence, the additive inverse of a negative integer is always positive.

Option B is true

Answer 2

Answer

The answer is option no. (B) .For e.g the additive inverse of a negative integer -3was 3.
