Answer 1

-3/2 is the answer of this question

Answer 2

Answer:

The sum of the multiplicative inverse and additive inverse of 2 is -3/2.

So the correct option is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The multiplicative inverse of a number x is given by x power-1.
• Such that when it is multiplied by its original number.
• It results in value equal to 1.

• For example, the multiplicative inverse of 2 is $2^{-1}$ as it satisfies the expression: $2\times2^{-1}=2\frac{1}{2} =1$
• It is called as reciprocal of a number.
• A number that when added to a given number gives zero.
• The additive inverse of a number is its opposite number.
• If a number is added to its additive inverse, the sum of both the numbers becomes zero.
• Therefore here multiplicative inverse and additive inverse of 2 is -3/2.
