The Inverse Symbolic Calculator is an online number checker established July 18, 1995 by Peter Benjamin Borwein, Jonathan Michael Borwein and Simon Plouffe of the Canadian Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics (Burnaby, Canada).
P ' is the inverse of P with respect to the circle. To invert a number in arithmetic usually means to take its reciprocal. A closely related idea in geometry is that of "inverting" a point. In the plane, the inverse of a point P with respect to a reference circle (Ø) with center O and radius r is a point P ', lying on the ray from O through P ...
The graph of an involution (on the real numbers) is symmetric across the line y = x. This is due to the fact that the inverse of any general function will be its reflection over the line y = x. This can be seen by "swapping" x with y. If, in particular, the function is an involution, then its graph is its own reflection.
In mathematics, and in particular linear algebra, the Moore–Penrose inverse + of a matrix , often called the pseudoinverse, is the most widely known generalization of the inverse matrix. [1] It was independently described by E. H. Moore in 1920, [2] Arne Bjerhammar in 1951, [3] and Roger Penrose in 1955. [4]
In inversive geometry, an inverse curve of a given curve C is the result of applying an inverse operation to C. Specifically, with respect to a fixed circle with center O and radius k the inverse of a point Q is the point P for which P lies on the ray OQ and OP·OQ = k 2. The inverse of the curve C is then the locus of P as Q runs over C.
) To prove that the backward direction + + is invertible with inverse given as above) is true, we verify the properties of the inverse. A matrix Y {\displaystyle Y} (in this case the right-hand side of the Sherman–Morrison formula) is the inverse of a matrix X {\displaystyle X} (in this case A + u v T {\displaystyle A+uv^{\textsf {T}}} ) if ...
This reflection operation turns the gradient of any line into its reciprocal. [1] Assuming that has an inverse in a neighbourhood of and that its derivative at that point is non-zero, its inverse is guaranteed to be differentiable at and have a derivative given by the above formula.
The term reflection is loose, and considered by some an abuse of language, with inversion preferred; however, point reflection is widely used. Such maps are involutions, meaning that they have order 2 – they are their own inverse: applying them twice yields the identity map – which is also true of other maps called reflections.
