I think you mean the concept of inverse trig functions.
Let's just look at one, the inverse cosine function.
cos-1 (x) also called arccos(x) is the inverse of cos(x).
cos-1 (x) <=> x=cos (theta)
So to evaluate an inverse trig function we are ask what angle, theta, did we plug into the trig function (regular, not inverse function) to get x.
So here is one more example.
tan-1 (x) means x=cos (theta)
Secant is a trignometric function. In a right triangle, the secant of an angle is the hypotenuse over the adjacent side. It is also the inverse of cosine. For example secant(x) = 1/cos(x)
find x. given is 14 and a 90 degree angle

Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
Inverse proportion is a mathematical concept and has nothing whatsoever to do with religious concepts such as hell.
Secant is a trignometric function. In a right triangle, the secant of an angle is the hypotenuse over the adjacent side. It is also the inverse of cosine. For example secant(x) = 1/cos(x)

These are the for inverse operations:Multiplications inverse is divisionDivisions inverse is multiplicationAdditions inverse is subtractionSubtractions inverse is addition
That depends what you mean with "opposite". Two important math concepts are:a) The additive inverse. That's the same number, with a minus in front of it (a number plus its additive inverse = 0).b) The multiplicative inverse, also called the reciprocal. One divide by the number. For a fraction, you can simply exchange numerator and denominator to get the reciprocal. (A number times its reciprocal = 1.)
Yes, that is why they are called "principal". The domains are restricted so that the functions become injective.

Additive inverse: -2.5 Multiplicative inverse: 0.4
Addition is the inverse of Subtraction. Division is the inverse of Multiplication. and then visa-versa. :-) Addition is the inverse of Subtraction. Division is the inverse of Multiplication. and then visa-versa. :-) the Answer is subtraction
There is no inverse for zero.
The prefix of "inverse" is "in-".
The inverse of sin inverse (4/11) is simply 4/11.
