To show that \(-a\) is not the inverse of \(a\) in \(\mathbb{N}\) for the addition operation \(+\) on \(\mathbb{N}\) and that \(\frac{1}{a}\) is not the inverse of \(a\) in \(\mathbb{N}\) for the multiplication operation \(\times\) on \(\mathbb{N}\) (for \(a \neq 1\)), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Inverse for Addition The additive inverse of a number \(a\) is a number \(b\) such that: \[ a + b = 0 \] For \(a\) to have an inverse in \(\mathbb{N}\), both \(a\) and \(b\) must belong to \(\mathbb{N}\). ...
