You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is an inverse? Like an inverse of 1,2,3,4? I have never heard of this? That is the question???
-------
There are two kinds of number inverses.
One is the "additive inverse" ; for the number "a" the inverse is "-a"
--------------
The other is the "multiplicative inverse" ; for the number "a" the inverse
is "1/a".
----------------
Your problem
Additive inverses: -1,-1,-3,-4
--------
Multiplicative inverses: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4
