The power rule for differentiation was derived by Leibniz, each independently, for rational power functions in the mid 17th century, who both then used it to derive the power rule for integrals as the inverse operation.

On the other hand, a subtraction operation uniquely determines an addition operation, an additive inverse operation, and an additive identity; for this reason, an additive group can be described as a set that is closed under subtraction.

:: : : : Oddly, I've found that many of those who are capable of inverse operations, but panic at algebra, are quite capable of algebra if you use symbols that " are not letters ".

Notice that although every group becomes a semigroup when the identity as a constant is omitted ( and / or the inverse operation is omitted ), the class of groups does " not " form a subvariety of the variety of semigroups because the signatures are different.

The " indefinite integral ", also known as the " antiderivative ", is the inverse operation to the derivative . is an indefinite integral of when is a derivative of . ( This use of lower-and upper-case letters for a function and its indefinite integral is common in calculus .)

:: . . . but if algebra is not to your liking, you can still easily solve the problem by noting what operations you would do on the original " unknown x " to arrive at $ 150.98, then you can start with $ 150.98 and just apply the inverse operations in reverse order to find the " unknown x ".

Let G be a group, let S be a generating set for G, and suppose that S is closed under the inverse operation on G . A word over the set S is just a finite sequence w = s _ 1 \ ldots s _ L whose entries s _ 1, \ ldots, s _ L are elements of S . The integer L is called the length of the word w.

To do that, you need to apply the inverse operations to those that act on the variable, take \ frac { x } { 2 } + 3 = 5 for example, for this problem, our unknown ( variable ) is x, and our equation says that, "'x is divided by 2 and then 3 is added to it "'to give us 5 as an " answer " our question however is what is x ( our unknown ) so we need to get the equation above to look like x = ( whatever ).
