Yes, this situation represents additive inverses.
Additive inverses are two numbers that, when added together, result in zero. In this situation, running up the 4 flights of stairs can be represented as a positive number (+4), while running down the 4 flights of stairs can be represented as a negative number (-4). When these two numbers are added together (+4 + (-4)), the result is zero.
Therefore, Arianna running up 4 flights of stairs and then running down 4 flights of stairs represents additive inverses because the two actions cancel each other out, resulting in zero.
