Question

Find the additive inverse of the number

$563$

Answer 1

Additive inverse: An additive inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on adding with the original number results in zero value.

Suppose, $a$ is the original number, then its additive inverse will be minus of $a$ i.e., $-a$, such that;

$a+(-a)=a–a=0$

Here, $a=563$, then$-a=-\left(563\right)=-563$, so that,

$563-563=0$

Hence, the additive inverse of $563$ is $-563$.
