Verify each of the following statements:
a) The additive inverse of an integer is not always negative.
True
✓ TRUE 😊
False
✗ FALSE 😢
b) Is the additive inverse of \(-a\) always \(|-a|\)?
Yes
✗ FALSE 😢
No
✓ TRUE 😊
a) True - Because the additive inverse of zero is zero (not negative), and the additive inverse of a negative integer is positive.
b) No - Because when \(a\) is negative, \(-a\) becomes positive, and its additive inverse would be negative (not equal to \(|-a|\)).
b) No - Because when \(a\) is negative, \(-a\) becomes positive, and its additive inverse would be negative (not equal to \(|-a|\)).
