What is the multiplicative inverse of -1/9

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9

OpenStudy (hesan):

-9 is the multiplicative inverse of -1/9

OpenStudy (hesan):

because multiplicative inverse is just the reciprocal of that number or fraction.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you know what the "multiplicative inverse" of a number is defined as @Lucashugo ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is positive. you have to flip the fraction upside down and change it's negative/positive identity.

OpenStudy (hesan):

no never it will be nagative

OpenStudy (hesan):

the sign changes in aditive inverse not in multiplicative inverse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the multiply of the 2 must be 1 so -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It changes for the multiplicative inverse and not for the additive inverse.

OpenStudy (hesan):

for example: -2/5 its additive inverse is +2/5 and multiplicative inverse is -5/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Lucashugo Make your own question separately, don't interfere ins someone else's.
