Answer 2

Answer:

Product of additive inverse and multiplicative inverse of 2 is -1.

Explanation:

Additive inverse: In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero. This number is also known as the opposite, sign change, and negation.

Multiplicative inverse : In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.

additive inverse of 2 = -2

multiplicative inverse of 2 = 1/2

product of additive inverse and multiplicative inverse =

$- 2 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{ - 2}{2 } = - 1$

So the product of additive inverse and multiplicative inverse is -1.
