What is the additive inverse of a binomial?
Change the signs of both terms and you have it.
The additive inverse of a binomial is the negative of the binomial. For example, suppose I have the binomial... x^2 - 3x. The negative of this binomial is... -1(x^2 - 3x) = -x^2 + 3x -x^2 + 3x is the additive inverse of x^2 - 3x because when you add the two binomials, you get 0: -x^2 + 3x + x^2 - 3x = 0 This works the same way with regular numbers... The additive inverse of 3 is -3 because 3 + -3 = 0 The additive inverse of -1/2 is 1/2 because -1/2 + 1/2 = 0 And so on...
