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).

adative inverse
look at mathfun.com and look at inverse operation In math the inverse is the opposite directions as in PEMDAS you would go S-subtraction, A-addition, D-division, M-multiplication,E-exponents, P-parntheses.
it is something that does the opposite of something else. for example multiplication and division are inverse operations because they do the opposite of each other.

"opposite" operation. The inverse of subtraction is addition; the inverse operation of multiplication is division.
Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
The inverse operation is just the opposite operation, for example addition is the inverse of subtraction, and vice verso
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".

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);
Square root is the inverse operation of a square.
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.
3020 is a number, not an operation. A number cannot have an inverse operation.
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).
