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).

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 operation is the inverse operation of addition?
adative inverse
Is Multiplication the inverse operation of division?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
Why do you use an inverse operation?
We use it in order to find the variable
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.
What does inverse mean in arithmetic?
"opposite" operation. The inverse of subtraction is addition; the inverse operation of multiplication is division.
In maths what does inverse mean?
The inverse operation is just the opposite operation, for example addition is the inverse of subtraction, and vice verso
What are the two sets of inverse operations?
Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
What is the inverse of operation mean?
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".
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.
Is inverse operations a multiplication or division word?
Not necessarily. The inverse operation of finding a reciprocal is doing the same thing again. The inverse operation of raising a number to a power is taking the appropriate root, the inverse operation of exponentiation is taking logarithms; the inverse operation of taking the sine of an angle is finding the arcsine of the value (and similarly with other trigonometric functions);
What operation is the inverse operation of addition?
adative inverse
Inverse operation of a square?
Square root is the inverse operation of a square.
What expression is the inverse operation of 3020?
3020 is a number, not an operation. A number cannot have an inverse operation.
What is the inverse operation of multiply by 24?
The inverse or opposite of the operation of multiply is divide. So the inverse operation of multiply by 24 would be to divide by 24 or multiply by the inverse of the number (1/24).
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 operation is the inverse operation of division?
1. subtraction 2. all mathematical operations 3. multiplication 4.division has no inverse operation
