For the constant function v(x) = 1, which statement describes the additive and multiplicative inverses?

The additive inverse of v(x) = 1 is −1, since 1 + (−1) = 0, so it is not equal to v(x). The multiplicative inverse is 1, since 1 × 1 = 1, so it is equal to v(x). Therefore, the multiplicative inverse is equal to v(x), but the additive inverse is not.
