To see this, let and each be additive inverses of; then
2.
That is, elements in a semiring need not have additive inverses.
3.
The basic operations of addition and scalar multiplication, together with the existence of an additive identity and additive inverses, cannot be combined in any more complicated way than the generic linear combination : the basic operations are a generating set for the operad of all linear combinations.
