Answer:

1

Explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of a number is just that number raised to the -1. For 9, that would be 9⁻¹, or 1/9. If you multiply those together, you just get 1.


9*9^-^1=(9)/(1)*(1)/(9)=(9)/(9)=1

That is true for any number, anything multiplied by its multiplicative inverse will always be 1.


a* a^-^1=(a)/(1)*(1)/(a)=(a)/(a)=1
