Additive Inverse (AD•di•tive IN•verse)
Definition: a number and its additive inverse have a sum of zero
(0) property
(0) property
A number that when added to a given number results in a sum of zero
Example: In the equation 3 + -3 = 0, 3 and -3 are
additive inverses of each other because when
you add them their sum is zero.
additive inverses of each other because when
you add them their sum is zero.
The additive inverse of a number is also called its
opposite. For example, 4 + -4 = 0. The additive inverse of
4 is –4, and the additive inverse of –4 is 4
opposite. For example, 4 + -4 = 0. The additive inverse of
4 is –4, and the additive inverse of –4 is 4
