What are the additive and multiplicative inverses of −75

?

1 answer

The additive inverse of a number is what you add to that number to get zero. For \(-75\), the additive inverse is:

\[ -(-75) = 75 \]

The multiplicative inverse of a number is what you multiply that number by to get one. For \(-75\), the multiplicative inverse is:

\[ \frac{1}{-75} = -\frac{1}{75} \]

So, the additive inverse of \(-75\) is \(75\), and the multiplicative inverse is \(-\frac{1}{75}\).
