can the additive inverse of a real number be negative?
Of course, the additive inverse of a real number can be a negative number. For a positive real number, the additive inverse will be negative real number while for a negative real number the additive inverse would be a positive real number. Let b be the additive inverse of a. So, a + b 0 Therefore, a -b If a id +ve, b has to be -ve.
Yes. The additive inverse of all positive real numbers will be negative, and vice versa. The additive inverse of a number is the number that needs to be added to it to get 0.
