*URGENT* Suppose 12 is raised to the second power, like this: 12^2. Which answers show the inverse operation?
There is more than one correct answer. Select all that apply.

12 ^ 1/2 or

Step-by-step explanation:

12^2

We want to do the inverse operation, which is the square root

We can write the square root as

^ 1/2  or as

So the inverse of squaring 12 is

12 ^ 1/2 or

=======================================================

Explanation:

Both of these represent the same idea. Square root notation is probably what you're more familiar with. It turns out that raising any positive number to the 1/2 power is the same as a square root. We can write

The 1/2 power notation may seem more clunky or confusing, but its helpful to extend to things like cube roots, fourth roots, etc.

The more general rule is

which says the nth root of x is the same as x^(1/n).

assuming you mean addition: addition and subtraction are reverse operations.
