The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the additive inverse, you merely change the sign of the number

For Example 5 {5 is the number} + (-5) {-5 is the additive inverse} = 0.

i.e. 6 + (-6) = 0

i.e (-7) + 7 = 0

Check whether the relation R on the set S = {1, 2, 3} is an equivalent
kozerog [31]

Answer:

R isn't an equivalence relation. It is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S denote a set of elements. S \times S would denote the set of all ordered pairs of elements of S\!.

For example, with S = \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace, (3,\, 2) and (2,\, 3) are both members of S \times S. However, (3,\, 2) \ne (2,\, 3) because the pairs are ordered.

A relation R on S\! is a subset of S \times S. For any two elementsa,\, b \in S, a \sim b if and only if the ordered pair (a,\, b) is in R\!.

 

A relation R on set S is an equivalence relation if it satisfies the following:

  • Reflexivity: for any a \in S, the relation R needs to ensure that a \sim a (that is: (a,\, a) \in R.)
  • Symmetry: for any a,\, b \in S, a \sim b if and only if b \sim a. In other words, either both (a,\, b) and (b,\, a) are in R, or neither is in R\!.
  • Transitivity: for any a,\, b,\, c \in S, if a \sim b and b \sim c, then a \sim c. In other words, if (a,\, b) and (b,\, c) are both in R, then (a,\, c) also needs to be in R\!.

The relation R (on S = \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace) in this question is indeed reflexive. (1,\, 1), (2,\, 2), and (3,\, 3) (one pair for each element of S) are all elements of R\!.

R isn't symmetric. (2,\, 3) \in R but (3,\, 2) \not \in R (the pairs in \! R are all ordered.) In other words, 3 isn't equivalent to 2 under R\! even though 2 \sim 3.

Neither is R transitive. (3,\, 1) \in R and (1,\, 2) \in R. However, (3,\, 2) \not \in R. In other words, under relation R\!, 3 \sim 1 and 1 \sim 2 does not imply 3 \sim 2.

Collin did the work to see if 10 is a solution to the equation r/4=2.5
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Yes, because if you substitute 10 for r in the equation and simplify, you find that the equation is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{r}{4}  = 2.5 \\ lhs =  \frac{r}{4}  \\  =  \frac{10}{4}  \\  = 2.5 \\  = rhs \\  \therefore \:  \frac{r}{4}  = 2.5 \\

Lexi is making an orange drink for party. She puts 4 pints of orange drink and 2 pints of water into a punch bowl. Her friend Ol
Nina [5.8K]
I think she can add 5p more of orange which is 9p and 6p more water which is 8p. I'm pretty sure this works because 9 is the next closest multiple of 3 and 8 is one number less than that. Hope this helps!

fredd [130]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 is equal to 0.75. If you combine 0.75 with -20, then it is 20.75.

Triangle CDE is an isosceles triangle with angle d congruent to angle E if CD= 4x+9, DE= 7x-5, CE= 16x-27, find x and the measur
Montano1993 [528]
ANSWER

x = 3
CD= 21 \: units
DE= 16 \: units

CE= 21 \: units



EXPLANATION

It was given that ∆CDE is an isosceles triangle.

The length of the sides are given in terms of x as follows.

CD=4x+9


DE=7x-5


CE=16x-27



It was also given that, angle D is congruent to angle E.


This implies that, side CD and CE are equal.


Thus,

|CD|  =  |CE|
In terms of x, we have;

4x + 9 = 16x - 27


We group like terms to get,

16x - 4x = 9 + 27

12x = 36

Divide both sides by 12 to get,

x =  \frac{36}{12}

\therefore \: x = 3


The length of the sides are;

CD=4(3)+9 = 21 \: units

DE=7(3)-5 = 16 \: units


CE=16(3)-27 = 21 \: units
