Question

An airplane departs an airport and climbs to an altitude of 2,600 feet. The plane climbs 300 feet more to an altitude 2,900 feet. Which number is the additive inverse of the plane's height?

Answer 1

Hi, your answer is actually, −2,900.

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

The additive inverse of plane's height is
`- 2900 ft\\`

Explanation:

The additive inverse of any number is a number which when added to the original number gives zero

Thus,

`2,900 + X =0\\X = -2,900\\`

Thus the additive inverse of plane's height is
`- 2900 ft\\`
