Question

Find the additive inverse of each of the following.

$\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

Finding the additive inverse

If the given rational number is $\frac{p}{q}$ then its additive inverse is $\frac{-p}{q}$ and if the given rational number is $\frac{-p}{q}$then its additive inverse is $\frac{p}{q}.$

Given rational number is $\frac{1}{2}$ so it's additive inverse is $-\frac{1}{2}.$

Hence, the additive inverse of $\frac{1}{2}$is $-\frac{1}{2}.$
