A lot depends upon your interpretation of "opposite." Do you mean "reciprocal?"

If you give the number a, the reciprocal would be 1/a. Is that what you mean?

Or do you mean "the number with opposite sign?" If you give the number b, "the number with opposite sign" would be -b.

Consider both cases. Choose a rational number (such as 7/8). Find the reciprocal of this number. Find the number with opposite sign of this number.

A= bh divide by 2 so you'll multiply 10x8 the product would be 80 and so you divide 80 by 2 and get 40 as your result.

ella [17]

Answer:

$4 {n}^{5} + 3.5 {n}^{5} + ( - 2.1 {n}^{5} )$

first create a bracket:

$= ( {4n}^{5} + 3.5 {n}^{5} ) + ( - 2.1 {n}^{5} )$

then solve the first bracket:

$= {7.5 {n}^{5} } + ( - 2.1 {n}^{5} )$

then open the remaining bracket:

$= {7.5n}^{5} - {2.1n}^{5}$

carryout the subtraction operation:

$= (7.5 - 2.1) {n}^{5} \\ { \boxed{ = {5.4n}^{5} }}$
