Indirect proportion is more famously known as Inverse Proportion. Inverse proportion is the exact opposite of Direct Proportion. Inverse Proportion -As one quantity increases other quantity decreases. An example problem: If 4 painters can paint a house in 6 days then how many days can 8 painters paint a house of the same size? To solve, use cross product 4 painters=6 days 8 painters=x 4x6=24 24/8=3 To paint the same house,8 painters need 3 days.
The inverse function means the opposite calculation. The inverse function of "add 6" would be "subtract 6".
6
The additive inverse of 6 is -6, 6 + (-6) = 6 - 6 = 0.The multiplicative inverse of 6 is 1/6, 6 x 1/6 = (6 x 1)/6 = 6/6 = 1
If there is a proportion a/b = c/d, then ad = bc. Examples: 3/4 =? 5/6 3 x 6 =? 4 x 5 18 = 20 False (this is not a proportion) 16/6 =? 8/3 16 x 3 =? 6 x 8 48 = 48 True (this is a proportion)

-6 is a number, not a function and so there is not an inverse function.
6
-6. The additive inverse of a number is the number, that, when added to the original number, causes it to equal zero. You can kind of think of it like an opposite number. So, the additive inverse of 2 is -2, and -4 is 4.
The additive inverse of 6 is -6, 6 + (-6) = 6 - 6 = 0.The multiplicative inverse of 6 is 1/6, 6 x 1/6 = (6 x 1)/6 = 6/6 = 1
The additive inverse of 6+4i is -6-4i since their sum is 0. It is analogous to real numbers where the additive inverse of 6 is -6 since 6+-6 =6-6=0 In the case of complex numbers, we add them by adding the real parts and then adding the imaginary parts. So to find the complex additive inverse of a+bi, we find the inverse of a which is -a and of bi which is -bi and so the additive inverse is -a-bi
The inverse operation is opposite there are two types for example the first type is: addition and subtraction (2+3=5 5-3=2)the second type is multiplication and division (2x3=6 6 divided by 3=2)
An additive inverse is whatever will combine to make zero, in this case, -6.
The multiplicative inverse of a number is any number that will multiply by it to make zero. Here, the multiplicative inverse of -6 is -(1/6), or negative one sixth.
If there is a proportion a/b = c/d, then ad = bc. Examples: 3/4 =? 5/6 3 x 6 =? 4 x 5 18 = 20 False (this is not a proportion) 16/6 =? 8/3 16 x 3 =? 6 x 8 48 = 48 True (this is a proportion)
