Assuming that b > 0, it is an inverse power function or an inverse exponential function.
Ah, the inverse of raising to powers is taking the root of a number. Just like how adding is the inverse of subtracting, roots are the inverse of exponents. It's all about finding balance and harmony in the world of mathematics.
The inverse is not a function because it fails the vertical line test.
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);
1/2-2 = 1/(1/22) = 22 = 4
