What is the additive inverse of imaginary number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C=x+iy additive inverse C'=-(x+iy) C+C'=0

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

so we can say that the additive inverse of imaginary number is zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

then what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.- 0 is the identity of addition

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

-(x+iy) is the additive inverse?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

can you tell me some bit more that what is the difference between additive identity and additvie inverse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill tell the difference in reall case then its the same to complex in R if u have a number a then additvie inverse is -a right ? becouse a+(-a) =0 and 0 is the additive identity which means for any a in R a+0 =a

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

thank you so much for helping me @BSwan
