Answer 6

@Thesmarterone can you helpme with this nobody wants to help me :(

Answer 7

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_inverse I am not so good in math, so here is this :)

Answer 8

every number has an "additive inverse"
it is the number you add to the original so they add up to 0
for example:
given 1, its additive inverse is -1, because
1+ -1 = 0

I am sure you can pick a number, and then write its additive inverse (by putting a minus sign in front of it)

Answer 9

so pick a number. what number did you pick ?

Answer 10

5

Answer 11

now write down that same number with a minus sign in front.

Answer 12

5+ -5=0 ??

Answer 13

yes, that shows that -5 is an additive inverse of 5
(and also 5 is the additive inverse of -5)

now pick another number.

Answer 14

9+ -9=0

Answer 15

yes. not too hard, right?

Here is one:

-2
what is the additive inverse of -2 ?

Answer 16

0

Answer 17

put a - sign in front of -2, to get -(-2)
two minus make a plus, so -(-2) is 2
2 is the additive inverse of -2

and -2 + 2 = 0

Answer 18

okay so this is what I'm going to do

2+ - 2 = 0
5+ - =0
7+ - = 0
9+ - 9 = 0
12 + -12=0


em I right??

Answer 19

the 2nd and 3rd lines left out a number

Answer 20

oh sorry 7 + -7 = 0
5 + -5 = 0

hey can you helpme withthis

Include at least 5 mathematical examples of the multiplicative inverse, performing any calculations to explain why it is an example of the multiplicative inverse accurately and correctly.

Answer 21

multiplying has almost the same idea except we
1) multiply (instead of add)
2) when we multiply the two numbers you get 1 (not zero)

examples:
\[ 2 \text{ and } \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{2}{3} \text{ and } \frac{3}{2}\]

given a number, you find the multiplicative inverse by "flipping" the number

Answer 22

oh like this 2/3 3/2
4/5 5/4
6/8 8/6
10/12/10/12 like that????

Answer 23

and multiply each pair. what do you get ?

Answer 24

the first on eis 1/1 right????

Answer 25

1/1 simplifies to 1

Answer 26

so for all of them is 1?????

Answer 27

can oyu help me for the last one

Explain the additive and multiplicative inverse properties of numbers accurately.

Answer 28

yes. that is how you prove they are multiplicative inverses

Answer 29

oh okay that was very easy!

Answer 30

my HW is this http://static.k12.com/eli/bb/1211/1_68906/1_123888_14_68920/1eb4214f5f7c3ff0eff1726d7d719060928c3488/media/fcd3792c5dc10b575a63f6bef6cb4ff642cf6dd4/M1L8_1_teacher_graded_assignment_PROJECT_GUIDE.pdf

Answer 31

be sure you can find the multiplicative inverse of 1/4 (for example). any idea ?

Answer 32

is it one??

Answer 33

no. remember you want 1/4 * something = 1
1/4 * 1 is 1/4

to find the multiplicative inverse, "flip" 1/4

Answer 34

ohhhh okay!!!

Answer 35

can you help me with this
Explain the additive and multiplicative inverse properties of numbers accurately.

Answer 36

in a minute. what is the multiplicative inverse of 1/4 ?

Answer 37

4/1??

Answer 38

yes. but people usually simplify 4 divided by 1. 4/1 = ?

Answer 39

1 goes into 4 4 times.

Answer 40

yeah thats trtue

Answer 41

normally you would not bother to write 4/1, you would just write 4
so the multiplicative inverse of 1/4 is 4
and 1/4* 4 = 1

what is the multiplicative inverse of 4 ?

Answer 42

1/4 right

Answer 43

yes. you could either rewrite 4 as 4/1 and flip it to get 1/4
or you could say if 4 is the inverse of 1/4 then 1/4 is the inverse of 4 (they are pairs)

Answer 44

oh okay!

Answer 45

***Explain the additive and multiplicative inverse properties of numbers***

all numbers have an additive inverse. If you are given any number x, then its additive inverse is -1*x
a number and its additive inverse *always* add up to zero.

Answer 46

really i thought additive and milti was hard but is not !

Answer 47

If you remember it. If you forget, then it gets hard.

all numbers *except zero* have a multiplicative inverse. If you are given any number x (x not equal to zero), then its multiplicative inverse is 1/x
the product (i.e. when you multiply them) of a number and its multiplicative inverse is always 1.

Answer 48

okay

Answer 49

the reason you are learning this is that it helps in solving equations in algebra.

Answer 50

yeah I'min alebra 8th grade keysotne midlle school homeschooled!

Answer 51

did I do allof this ???

Explain the additive and multiplicative inverse properties of numbers accurately.
 Use accurate and appropriate terminology to describe the mathematical ideas presented.
 Include at least 5 mathematical examples of the additive inverse, performing any calculations to explain why it is an example of the additive inverse accurately and correctly.
 Include at least 5 mathematical examples of the multiplicative inverse, performing any calculations to explain why it is an example of the multiplicative inverse accurately and correctly

Answer 52

yes, all of that is answered up above.

Answer 53

are sure hoe about this
Include at least 5 mathematical examples of the additive inverse, performing any calculations to **explain why it is an example of the additive inverse accurately and correctly.***

Answer 54

Include at least 5 mathematical examples of the multiplicative inverse, performing any calculations to **explain why it is an example of the multiplicative inverse accurately and correctly**

Answer 55

if two numbers multiplied together equal 1, then *by definition* they are multiplicative inverses.

so if you write
\[ \frac{1}{5} \cdot 5 \]
and multiply it out to show you get 1 (as you do)
that shows that \( \frac{1}{5}\) is the multiplicative inverse of 5 (and also 5 is the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{1}{5}\) )

Answer 56

so I have to put that in amy HW

Answer 57

You should put in the definition of multiplicative inverse. (and additive inverse)
Your notes or book should have the definition (if you copy the definition, be sure to say where you found the definition)

Answer 58

oh okay soo all my hw is done then

Answer 59

after you write it up.

Answer 60

is this good ??


all numbers have an additive inverse. If you are given any number x, then its additive inverse is -1*x
a number and its additive inverse *always* add up to zero.


5+ -5 = 0
7+ -5 = 0
9+ -9 =0
12+ -12=0
14+ -14 = 0

5/8 8/5
6/9 9/6
5/2 2/5
3/6 6/3
7/8 8/7

Answer 61

you should try to use your own words (or the book's words, as long as you say, from "title of book")

for the bottom part, you should first put in the definition of multiplicative inverse (your words or the books words)
then *multiply* each pair and show you get 1 (which proves each pair is a multiplicative inverse)
