In the problem 3/4 • N = 1, N must be _____. the additive inverse of the multiplicative inverse of the additive identity the multiplicative identity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what a multiplicative/additive inverse is? And multiplicative/additive identity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should put A: B: C: D: before your questions next time. Makes em a bit easier to answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An additive inverse is what you add to a number to get zero. The negative of a number. Example: The additive inverse of -5 is 5, because -5 + 5 = 0. The additive inverse of +5 is -5 as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a is the top

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

N must be 1, therefore 1 equals 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is bottom and so on,

OpenStudy (loser66):

what is the dot in the front of N?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply

OpenStudy (loser66):

That mean "something" * N =1, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 is suposed to be b4 n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 * n

OpenStudy (loser66):

oh, got you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (loser66):

So that, we can reject the options of additive because they are not multiplicative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye

OpenStudy (loser66):

Now, just have 2 options: multiplicative inverse and multiplicative identity.
