Whenever the number is anything other than 0 or 1.
For example,
sqrt(9) = ±3
92 = 81.
The results are quite different and so these are not inverse operations.
Taking the square root of a negative number is not the same as squaring a number because the square root is only defined for non-negative numbers. Additionally, taking the square root of a non-perfect square number will result in an irrational number, which cannot be expressed as a fraction or a repeating decimal.
The opposite of another function - if you apply a function and then its inverse, you should get the original number back. For example, the inverse of squaring a positive number is taking the square root.
First, you need to define what kind of inverse you mean: additive, multiplicative or other.It will almost always be the case that the two operations are different. The only exceptions are:additive inverse: when the number is -1 and the non-principal square root is taken.multiplicative inverse: the number is 1.
Finding the square root of it. Taking the square root. Not squaring it.
When you take a square root of a number, essentially you are taking the number to the 1/2 power (1/2 being the inverse of 2.) e.g.: sqrt(4) = 4^(1/2) Additionally, a square root is finding out what number can be multiplied by itself to produce the input. Using the same example as above, 2 (the answer) can be multiplied by itself to produce 4 (the input). Whereas squaring a number is multiplying the number by itself, e.g. 2^2 = 2 x 2 = 4.
Taking a number to the second power is known as "squaring" the number.
The inverse of x2 is x-2.
The opposite of another function - if you apply a function and then its inverse, you should get the original number back. For example, the inverse of squaring a positive number is taking the square root.
Every operation in Mathematics needs to have an inverse. For addition, its inverse is subtraction (and vice versa) For multiplication, its division The inverse of squaring a number, is taking its square root.

Taking the square root is the opposite of squaring.

The square root of 16n to the power of two, (√16n)2 is just simply 16n. Any number or monomial that is squared after the square root is taken is just the number itself, since squaring is the inverse property of taking the square root of something.

The inverse operation of taking the square root is to calculate the square.
Taking a number to the second power is known as "squaring" the number.
Two functions are the inverse of one another if, for any value "x" (within the relevant range of numbers), if you apply the first function, and then you apply the other function to the result, you get the original value ("x") back. For example, starting with 3, if you square it you get 9; if you take the square root of 9, you get 3. The same happens for any non-negative number; thus, squaring and taking the square root are inverses of one another.
It is usually taken to be 2 because the taking the square root is considered to be the inverse of squaring - or multiplying by itself. However, sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) can be equal to -2 (instead of 2) if the two square roots are allowed to take opposite signs.
