an inverse element that can 'undo' the effect of combination with another element. For example if we look at the number 3, -3 is its additive inverse since 3+(-3)=0 and zero is the additive identity element. Similarly 1/3 is the multiplicative inverse since 1/3 x 3=1 and 1 is the multiplicative identity.
