The correct Answer is:
To find the additive inverse of a number, we need to understand that the additive inverse of a number \( x \) is the number that, when added to \( x \), results in 0. This means that the additive inverse is simply the negative of the given number. Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i) Find the additive inverse of 9:** - The additive inverse of 9 is obtained by changing its sign. - Therefore, the additive inverse of 9 is \(-9\). **(ii) Find the additive inverse of -11:** - The additive inverse of -11 is obtained by changing its sign. - Therefore, the additive inverse of -11 is \(11\). **(iii) Find the additive inverse of -8/13:** - The additive inverse of \(-\frac{8}{13}\) is obtained by changing its sign. - Therefore, the additive inverse of \(-\frac{8}{13}\) is \(\frac{8}{13}\). **(iv) Find the additive inverse of 5/-6:** - First, simplify \(5/-6\) to \(-\frac{5}{6}\). - The additive inverse of \(-\frac{5}{6}\) is obtained by changing its sign. - Therefore, the additive inverse of \(-\frac{5}{6}\) is \(\frac{5}{6}\). **(v) Find the additive inverse of 0:** - The additive inverse of 0 is simply 0 itself, as adding 0 to 0 results in 0. - Therefore, the additive inverse of 0 is \(0\). ### Final Answers: 1. The additive inverse of 9 is \(-9\). 2. The additive inverse of -11 is \(11\). 3. The additive inverse of \(-\frac{8}{13}\) is \(\frac{8}{13}\). 4. The additive inverse of \(-\frac{5}{6}\) is \(\frac{5}{6}\). 5. The additive inverse of 0 is \(0\).
