In [[mathematics]], '''−1''' ('''negative one''' or '''minus one''') is the [[additive inverse]] of [[1 (number)|1]], that is, the number that when [[addition|added]] to 1 gives the [[additive identity]] element, 0. It is the [[negative number|negative]] [[integer]] greater than negative two (−2) and less than [[0 (number)|0]].

Here we have used the fact that any number {{Mvar|x}} times 0 equals 0, which follows by [[cancellation property|cancellation]] from the equation
:{{Math|0 ⋅ ''x'' {{=}} (0 + 0) ⋅ ''x'' {{=}} 0 ⋅ ''x'' + 0 ⋅ ''x''}}.
[[File:ImaginaryUnit5.svg|thumb|right|0, 1, −1, {{mvar|[[imaginary unit|i]]}}, and −{{Mvar|i}} in the [[complex plane|complex]] or [[cartesian plane]]]]
In other words,
:{{Math|''x'' + (−1) ⋅ ''x'' {{=}} 0}},
so {{Math|(−1) ⋅ ''x''}} is the additive inverse of {{Mvar|x}}, i.e. {{Math|(−1) ⋅ ''x'' {{=}} −''x''}}, as was to be shown.
=== Square of −1 ===
The [[square (algebra)|square]] of −1, i.e. −1 multiplied by −1, equals 1. As a consequence, a product of two negative numbers is positive.
For an algebraic proof of this result, start with the equation
:{{Math|0 {{=}} −1 ⋅ 0 {{=}} −1 ⋅ [1 + (−1)]}}.
The first equality follows from the above result, and the second follows from the definition of −1 as additive inverse of 1: it is precisely that number which when added to 1 gives 0. Now, using the distributive law, it can be seen that
:{{Math|0 {{=}} −1 ⋅ [1 + (−1)] {{=}} −1 ⋅ 1 + (−1) ⋅ (−1) {{=}} −1 + (−1) ⋅ (−1)}}.
The third equality follows from the fact that 1 is a multiplicative identity. But now adding 1 to both sides of this last equation implies
:{{Math|(−1) ⋅ (−1) {{=}} 1}}.
The above arguments hold in any [[ring (mathematics)|ring]], a concept of [[abstract algebra]] generalizing integers and [[real number]]s.<ref name="MultIdRng">{{Cite book |last=Nathanson |first=Melvyn B. |author-link=Melvyn B.
