The answer depends on what the inverse refers to.The additive inverse of 12 is -12 and so the square of the additive inverse of 12 is (-12)^2 = 144.The multiplicative inverse of 12 is 1/12 and so the square of the multiplicative inverse of 12 is (1/12)^2 = 1/144.The "square" function is many-to-one and so, strictly speaking, does not have an inverse. However, many ppoeple consider the [principal] square root as the inverse. In that case, the answer is 3.4641, approx.
The inverse operation of taking the square root is to calculate the square.
Square root is the inverse operation of a square.
No.
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.
XX or X*X, can be written as X squared. The inverse of a function "sort of cancels it out". I know the inverse of a square is the square root. Since we need the inverse of X squared, it's inverse is the square root of X. sqrt(x)
The square of the square root of 36. Which can also be stated as the square of 6.

The inverse operation is to take a square root.
The inverse operation of squaring a number is finding the square root of that number. In mathematical terms, if you square a number x, the result is x^2. The inverse operation would be taking the square root of x^2, which gives you the original number x. For example, if you square 3 (3^2 = 9), the square root of 9 is 3.
9 is the square ROOT of 81. Calculating a square root is the inverse operation of squaring a number.
Let's illustrate with an example. The square function takes a number as its input, and returns the square of a number. The opposite (inverse) function is the square root (input: any non-negative number; output: the square root). For example, the square of 3 is 9; the square root of 9 is 3. The idea, then, is that if you apply first a function, then its inverse, you get the original number back.
