Sometimes. The inverse of y sin x is y sin-1x, the inverse of a number is one divided by the number, also called the reciprocal of the number, y x, then y-1 x-1 1/x. However, the inverse logarithm of a given number is the number whose logarithm is the given number. Log of 1000 is 3 and 1000 is inverse log 3.

What is an example of multiplicative inverse?

A multiplicative inverse is the same as a reciprocal. The multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x. So, the multiplicative inverse of 4 is 1/4; or 7 is 1/7 and of 0.2 is 1/0.2 = 5.


What is zero product property?

Multiplicative Inverse of a NumberReciprocal The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal. For example, the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 12 is and the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of is . Note: The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1. Observe that ·= 1.

What does x to a negative power mean?

It is the inverse of x to the positive value of that power. So x-a = 1/xa or (1/x)a


How do you write 10 to the -second power?

10 to the second power is the inverse of 10 to the negative second power. 10 to the 2nd power is 100 so the inverse of 100 is 1/100 or .01 so 10 to the negative second power is written as 10-2 which is equal to 1/100 or 0.01.


What is the inverse of x3 plus 1?

The inverse of a number is 1 divided by that number. So the inverse of x3 + 1 is 1/(x3 + 1).
