What is inverse operation?
An inverse operation reverses an affect of another operation. Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction. So are multiplication and subtraction.
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).
Which operation of arithmetic is the inverse of addition?
Subtraction
What is an inverse operation?
An inverse operation is an operation that reverses the effect of the original operation. For example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations. 2 add 5 is 7, subtract 5 is 2. The subtraction of 5 reversed the effect of adding 5. Multiplication and division are also inverse operations. Two functions f and g are inverse if f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x.
Is Multiplication the inverse operation of division?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
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.
