The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero.
For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).

A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
The additive inverse of 8 2/5 is -8 2/5.
7 can be considered the additive inverse of 5.
Additive Inverse would be the number that when added to a given number creates a total of zero. The additive inverse for any negative number would be the positive counterpart. The additive inverse of -5 is 5. The additive inverse of -2 is 2, since -2 + 2 = 0.
Zero. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5, and 5 + (-5) = 0.

As far as positive numbers are concerned, the additive inverse of a positive number is a negative number with the same magnitude (i.e. the additive inverse of 5 is -5). It would be wrong to simply say that "negative" and "additive inverse" are correct, because the additive inverse of a negative number is a positive number.
Definition for additive inverse:Web definitions:(mathematics) one of a pair of numbers whose sum is zero; the additive inverse of -5 is +5. -56 + 56 = 0SO the additive inverse of 56 is -56 or negative 56
The question is confusing. The additive inverse of a real number is the same number with the sign changed. For example, the additive inverse of -5 is +5 (or simply 5); the additive inverse of 7 (which is the same as +7) is -7.
No, not at all!I'll assume you mean the additive inverse, although the following examples can be adapted to the multiplicative inverse as well.The additive inverse of 5 is -5, and 5 is indeed greater than -5.However, the additive inverse of -5 is 5, and -5 is SMALLER than 5.
It depends on whether you mean additive inverse or multiplicative inverse.
