How can you tell if functions are inverse functions?
If two functions are the inverse of each other, they reverse or undo what the other function does. To give the simplest example, addition and subtraction are inverse functions, so that if you start with 7 and add 3 you get 10, and then if you subtract 3 you are back to 7, which is what you started with, so the subtraction reverses the effect of the addtion (if you subtract the same amount, which in this example was 3).

How do you add and subtract the binary number system?
You do it exactly like decimal subtraction, and when needed you borrow from the next higher place digit, however remember you borrow 2 everytime and not 10. Some people convert the two binary numbers into decimal, do the subtraction and then convert the result back to binary. Following is an example of binary subtraction. 1001 0110 ____ 0011 ____ I started explaining the borrowing process in words but it gets confusing. Please relate it to the borrowing process in decimal.

What does the word inverse operation mean?
An inverse operation (for some operation) is, in a way, the opposite of another operation. For example, subtraction is the opposite of addition (if you add 7, then subtract 7, the subtraction will "undo" the addition - you get the original number back). Similarly, division is the inverse of multiplication, taking a root is the inverse of calculating a power, and the logarithm is also the inverse of calculating a power (the difference being that taking a root finds the unknown base, while taking the logarithm finds the unknown exponent).
