I've just answered a similar question about additive inverse and absolute value. I'm posting the Q and my A below: Q What is the difference between the additive inverse of a number and its absolute value? My A. The additive inverse of a number is what you must add to that number to get a total of zero. eg. The additive inverse of 6 is -6, since we have to add -6 to 6 to get zero. Another example: The additive inverse of -3 is 3, since we have to add 3 to -3 to get zero. Another example: The additive inverse of 0 is 0, because 0 is the only number that can be added to 0 to get zero. As you can see, to get the additive inverse, just reverse the sign (+ to - or - to +) The absolute value of a number is that same number, but with its negative sign removed if it had one. examples: Absolute value of 6 is 6 Absolute value of -13 is 13 Absolute value of 0 is 0 SO, we can say that: The additive inverse of a number is a number with the same absolute value but opposite sign.
