What is the additive inverse of a number ?
The additive inverse is the number that adds to a number to equal 0
The negative of that number. The additive inverse is the value that gives the additive identity (which is 0 because when you add 0 to any number you get that number back--the identity). So for instance the additive inverse of 1 is -1, the additive inverse of -36.3 is +36.3.and then the additive inverse of 0 is itself, 0.
