Hello,
The additive inverse of 1/2 is -1/2

Bye :-)

Answer 2

`-(1)/(2)`.

Explanation:

Let x be the additive inverse of
`(1)/(2)`.

We are asked to find the additive inverse of
`(1)/(2)`.

We know that additive inverse of any number is a number by adding which to the given number we get 0.

We can set an equation to solve for x as:

`x+(1)/(2)=0`

`x+(1)/(2)-(1)/(2)=0-(1)/(2)`

`x=-(1)/(2)`

Therefore, additive inverse of
`(1)/(2)` is
`-(1)/(2)`.
