To find: The difference between additive inverse and additive identity.
Answer to Problem 7CT
Additive inverse of a number x is −x and additive identity of a number x is 0.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Additive inverse and additive identity given.
Calculation:
Additive inverse of a number is when we add the number with the additive inverse we will get zero. For example, if a number given be x, the additive inverse of it is -x, as
Additive identity of a number is when we add a number with 0 we will get the number itself. For example, if a number given be x, the additive identity of it is 0, as
