What is the inverse for numbers under addition?
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.
What is the additive inverse of 8 2 5?
The additive inverse of 8 2/5 is -8 2/5.
Find the additive inverse of 5 on the 12 hour clock?
7 can be considered the additive inverse of 5.
What is the additive inverse of a negative?
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.
The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to?
Zero. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5, and 5 + (-5) = 0.
How do you write the additive inverse of -6-5?
-11
What is the additive inverse of a negative number?

Another name for additive inverse?
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.
What is the additive inverse of 56?
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
Which real number contains additive inverses for all its elements?
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.
Is it true that a number is always greater than its opposite?
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.
What is the inverse of -7 plus 5?
It depends on whether you mean additive inverse or multiplicative inverse.
