Question

Suppose 12 is raised to the second power, like this: 122.

Which answers show the inverse operation?
There is more than one correct answer. Select all that apply.
12
(²) ¹2
O √12
0 12 1/
0121
127/

Answer 1

√12

12^(1/2)

Explanation:

The inverse operation of raising a number to a power is taking the root of that number. In this case, 12 raised to the second power is 144. The inverse operation would be taking the square root of 144, which gives us back 12. So, the correct answers from your options are:

√12

12^(1/2)

These both represent the square root of 12, which is the inverse operation of squaring 12.
