What is the additive and multiplicative inverse of -0.5?
Additive inverse meansthe number that when added will equal 0". That is, it is the number a such that -0.5 + a = 1. So a = 1 - (-0.5) = 1.5 is the additive inverse. Multiplicative inverse meansthe number that when multiplied will equal 1". That is, it is the number m such that -0.5m = 1. So m = 1/(-0.5) = -2 is the multiplicative inverse.
