Properties of Additive Identity and Additive Inverse
Let v be a vector in R", and let c be a scalar. Then the properties below are true.
1. The additive identity is unique. That is, if v + u = v, then u = 0.
2. The additive inverse of v is unique. That is, if v + u = 0, then u = -v.
3. Ov = 0
4. co = 0
