the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to 'a', yields zero. This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation.
So the Additive inverse of -2 is 2. ∴ -2+2=0
b) Additive identity of −5
Additive identity is the value when added to a number, results in the original number. When we add 0 to any real number, we get the same real number.
-5 + 0 = -5. Therefore, 0 is the additive identity of any real number.
c) additive inverse of 3
Two numbers are additive inverses if they add to give a sum of zero. 3 and -3 are additive inverses since 3 + (-3) = 0. -3 is the additive inverse of 3.
d). multiplicative identity of 19
an identity element (such as 1 in the group of rational numbers without 0) that in a given mathematical system leaves unchanged any element by which it is multiplied
Multiplicative identity if 19 is 1 only, since 19 x 1 = 19.
e) multiplicative inverse of 7
Dividing by a number is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of the number. Thus, 7 ÷7=7 × 1⁄7 =1. Here, 1⁄7 is called the multiplicative inverse of 7.
If Rachel earned $34 for 4 hours of work, we must divide the amount earned by the number of hours worked in order to find out her hourly rate and then multiply it by 10 to determine how much she would earn if she worked 10 hours.
