It is a second operation that "undoes" the first.

For example, the inverse of "add 2" is "subtract 2";

the inverse of "divide by 7" is "multiply by 7";

the inverse of "take the reciprocal" is "take the reciprocal".

The inverse operation is just the opposite operation, for example addition is the inverse of subtraction, and vice verso


What is inverse operation?

An inverse operation undoes the effect of another operation. For example, addition is the inverse operation of subtraction, and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. Applying an operation and its inverse leaves you with the original value.


Inverse operation of a square?

What does the word inverse operation mean?

An inverse operation (for some operation) is, in a way, the opposite of another operation. For example, subtraction is the opposite of addition (if you add 7, then subtract 7, the subtraction will "undo" the addition - you get the original number back). Similarly, division is the inverse of multiplication, taking a root is the inverse of calculating a power, and the logarithm is also the inverse of calculating a power (the difference being that taking a root finds the unknown base, while taking the logarithm finds the unknown exponent).

When you use a operation and reverse it what is that called?

When you use an operation and then reverse it, it is called the "inverse" of that operation. For example, the inverse of addition is subtraction, and the inverse of multiplication is division. In mathematics, applying an inverse operation allows you to return to the original value or to undo the effect of the initial operation.


What is the inverse operation of addition and multiplication?

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. The inverse multiplication by a number other than 0 is division. Multiplication by 0 does not have an inverse operation.


What is the inverse operation of multiply by 24?
