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.


What operation is the inverse operation of addition?

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtraction undoes addition by taking away a number from the sum to return to the original value.


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).


Is Multiplication the inverse operation of division?

Yes, multiplication and division are inverse operations. When you multiply a number by its reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse), you get 1. Similarly, when you divide a number by itself, you also get 1.


What is the mathematical definition of inverse?

In mathematics, the inverse of a function is a function that "undoes" the original function. More formally, for a function f, its inverse function f^(-1) will produce the original input when applied to the output of f, and vice versa. Inverse functions are denoted by f^(-1)(x) or by using the notation f^(-1).

How do you solve the proportion of something?

There cannot be a "proportion of something": proportion is a relationship between two things, and how you solve it depends on whether they (or their transformations) are in direct proportion or inverse proportion.


What are the 4 kinds of proportionality in physics?

The four kinds of proportionality in physics are direct proportionality, inverse proportionality, joint proportionality, and inverse square proportionality. Direct proportionality means that two quantities increase or decrease together. Inverse proportionality means that one quantity increases while the other decreases. Joint proportionality involves three or more quantities varying together. Inverse square proportionality refers to a relationship where one quantity is inversely proportional to the square of another quantity.


Is the inverse proportion one in which the product of the two variables is constant?
