Question:
If x + 0 = 0 + x = x, which is rational number, then 0 is called
(a) identity for addition of rational numbers
(b) additive inverse of x
(c) multiplicative inverse of x
(d) reciprocal of x
Solution:
(a) We know that, the sum of any rational number and zero (0) is the rational number itself.
Now, x + 0 = 0+ x= x, which is a rational number, then 0 is called identity for addition of rational numbers.
