What is the relationship between inverse operations in mathematics?

• They are operations that always result in zero.

• They are pairs of math operations that undo each other.

• They are operations that only involve multiplication and division.

• They are operations that are performed in a specific order.

What is the main goal of a root operation when applied to the answer of an exponent?

• To find the exponent used in the original calculation.

• To determine the sum of the numbers in the original calculation.

• To find the base of the original exponent.

• To multiply the answer by itself a certain number of times.
