Inverse Operations Meaning
2016-10-30 07:45:01 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
Inverse somewhat means the opposite. The inverse of addition is the opposite of addition which is subtraction (the opposite of adding 5 is subtracting 5). Subtraction undoes addition and vice versa. So they are inverse operations of each other. Another basic pair of inverse operations are multiplication and division. The opposite of multiplying by five is dividing by five. Other inverse operations:
powers and roots (ie power of 2 (squaring) and square root are inverse operations)
exponential functions and log functions
derivitive and integral
I'm sure there are others. Hope this helps.

It means doing the reverse operation, or it can also mean 1/x where x is what ever is to be the inverse.

Inverse operations is opposite
For addition subtraction would be inverse.
For multiplication division would be inverse.

Inverse operations are usually like multiplication and division because they undo each other.
