11 2-11 Additive and multiplicative inverses, and properties
Theadditive inverseof f is −f; their sum is the zero function, the additive identity.
Themultiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of f = P/Q is Q/P, defined only where P ≠ 0 and Q ≠ 0; their product is 1.
Properties on the common domain: closure, commutativity and associativity of addition and multiplication, the distributive law of multiplication over addition, and the identities 0 (additive) and 1 (multiplicative).
Subtraction and division are not commutative and not associative — do not extend those properties to them.
