What is the additive inverse of -8-5i in algebra? ?
The additive inverse is the value you would add to this to get zero. Therefore we can see that the additive inverse is +8+5i, because: -8-5i+8+5i (-8+8)+(5i-5i) 0+0 0 Don't get confused with the complex conjugate (which has the property of being the same real part and opposite signed imaginary part: in this case -8+5i). Hope that helps.
