Question

Which number is the additive inverse of -4 and 1/4 of a -4 1/4 b -1/4 c 1/ 4 d 4 1/4. What's the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The additive inverse of -4 and $\frac{1}{4}$ is 4 and $\frac{-1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers -4 and $\frac{1}{4}$

We have to find the additive inverse of the given numbers.

Additive inverse is the number added to a given number that the sum of number is equal to zero. that is $a+(-a)=0$

For given number a = -4

Let number x is added to -4 so that result is 0

$-4+(x)=0$ ⇒ x = 4

Thus, additive inverse of -4 is +4.

For given number a = $\frac{1}{4}$

Let additive inverse be x,

$\frac{1}{4}+x=0$

⇒ $x=\frac{-1}{4}$

Thus, additive inverse of $\frac{1}{4}$ is $\frac{-1}{4}$

Thus, the additive inverse of -4 and $\frac{1}{4}$ is 4 and $\frac{-1}{4}$
