name the additive and multiplicative inverse for each number and please explain what they each mean0.4-11/16thanks!
This Site Might Help You. RE: additive and multiplicative inverse? name the additive and multiplicative inverse for each number and please explain what they each mean 0.4 -11/16 thanks!
(1) 0.4 :- Additive Inverse is -0.4 Multiplcative Inverse is 1/0.4=2.5 (2) -11/16 :- Additive Inverse is 11/16 Multiplcative Inverse is -16/11 Additine inverse means that the addition of the number & its additive Inverse is 0 Multiplcative Inverse means that the mulplication of the number & its multiplcative Inverse is 1
Multiplicative Inverse Definition
Definition Of Additive Inverse
Inverse means opposite. Keep that in mind. The additive inverse of a given number is the number that you can ADD to it to get 0. The additive inverse of 5, for example, is -5 because 5 + -5 = 0. The multiplicative inverse of a given number is the number that can be MULTIPLIED by it to get 1. Another word for multiplicative inverse is reciprocal. The mult. inverse of 5 is 1/5 because 5/1 * 1/5 = 5/5 or 1. In your first example, I recommend that you write .4 as a fraction. .4 = 4/10 4/10 + -4/10 = 0 So, -4/10 is the additive inverse of 4/10 4/10 * 10/4 = 1 So, 10/4 is the multiplicative inverse of 4/10. Now you try! Can you do -11/16?
