Find the sum of additive inverse and multiplicative inverse of 7.
Advertisements
Solution
The additive inverse of 7 = – 7
The multiplicative inverse of 7 = `1/7`
∴ Required sum = `-7 + 1/7`
= `(-49 + 1)/7`
= `(-48)/7`
= `-6 6/7`

If `x/y` is the additive inverse of `c/d`, then `x/y + c/d` = 0.
If x + y = 0, then –y is known as the negative of x, where x and y are rational numbers.
For rational numbers x and y, if x < y then x – y is a positive rational number.
