i is imaginary variable, so in most cases it will equal -1
additive inverse of -- 6 + 2i 0 -- [ -- 6 + 2i] 6 -- 2i
Distinguish the multiplicative inverse for which the identity is 1 from the additive inverse for which the identity is 0. So, the additive inverse of - 6 + 2i is + 6 - 2i. To ensure that [number] + [additive inverse] 0.
The additive inverse of anything is what must be added to that thing to get a sum of 0, the additive identity element for complex numbers. Thus the additive inverse of -6 + 2i is 6 - 2i.
