-2,-1,0,1 Which pair of numbers has a sum of zero 1,1 -2,0 -2,1 -1,0

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Numbers that add to zero are called additive inverses or opposites.

OpenStudy (aglna):

I was think that the answer is -1,1

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

0 is its own additive inverse, since 0 + 0 = 0 For all other opposites (or additive inverses), pick any number and the same number with the opposite sign, and they are additive inverses.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Additive inverses: 2, -2 4, -4 -5, 5 -8.9, 8.9 -100, 100

OpenStudy (aglna):

So -1,1

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You are correct.

OpenStudy (aglna):

Ok thanks again

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Interestingly, you don't have -1,1 as a choice. Did you mistype choice A?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (aglna):

Yes sorry

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok, I thought you were trying to see if I was paying attention.

OpenStudy (aglna):

No lol
