Two operators are opposites or inverses if their combined mapping is the identity mapping. Less technically, one mapping must reverse the effect of the other.
There are problems, though, when dealing with even fairly common functions. Squaring is a function from the real numbers to the non-negative real numbers, but there is not a single inverse operation. [+sqrt and -sqrt are the two inverse functions over the range.]
