The additive inverse of a vector is called the negative of the vector.

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

The negative of $v$, denoted $-v$, is its additive inverse, satisfying $v+(-v)=0$. It equals $(-1)v$. In coordinates, negate every entry. For a function $f$, the additive inverse is the function $t\mapsto-f(t)$.
