Capitolo 1, Problema 52

Give (a) the additive inverse and (b) the absolute value of each number. 0.16

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given number, which is 0.16.
To find the additive inverse of a number, change its sign. So, the additive inverse of 0.16 is \(-0.16\).
Recall that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, always non-negative.
Since 0.16 is already positive, its absolute value is simply \(0.16\).
Summarize: (a) Additive inverse is \(-0.16\), and (b) absolute value is \(0.16\).
