For the constant function v times x is equal to 1 , which statement describes the additive and multiplicative inverses?

Since v(x) = 1 for every x, its additive inverse is −v(x) = −1, which is not the same function as v(x). Its multiplicative inverse is 1/v(x) = 1, so it is equal to v(x). Therefore, the multiplicative inverse matches the function, but the additive inverse does not.
