Question

What is additive Inverse?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of −5 is +5, because −5 + 5 = 0

The additive inverse of +5 is −5, because +5 − 5 = 0

Answer 2

Explanation:

$\huge\bold{\underline{\underline{\red{Additive\: inverse }}}}$

Additive inverse means that any value when added with original value makes them or equal to zero.

Additive inverse is also called as ' opposite sign '.

=>There is also a additive inverse of negative numbers too.

Example : additive inverse of -2

let's find out

$\bold{-1×-2=2 }$

Hence ,2 is the additive inverse of -2

when 2 is added with original number -2 (2+(-2)=0) make the zero.

$\bold{\boxed{Formula\: for \:Additive \:inverse(a) =\:-1×a}}$

Let's understand with another example:-

Additive inverse of 5

Solution:- -1×5=-5

hence ,-5 is the additive inverse of 5

Now check :-

$\bold{-5+5=0}$

Here ,we see that when -5 (which is additive inverse of 5) is added with original value say 5 makes them Zero.
