Question

Additive inverse of $0$ is __.

Answer 1

Defining Additive Inverse

An additive inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on adding with the original number results in zero value. It is the value we add to a number to yield zero. Suppose, $a$ is the original number, then its additive inverse will be minus of $a$ i.e.,$-a$, such that;

$a+(-a)=a–a=0$

The additive inverse of $0$ is zero as $0+\left(0\right)=\left(0\right)+0=0$ and zero is neither negative nor positive.

Hence, Additive inverse of $0$ is zero.
