   Inverse \In*verse"\, a. [L. inversus, p. p. of invertere: cf. F.
      inverse. See {Invert}.]
      1. Opposite in order, relation, or effect; reversed;
            inverted; reciprocal; -- opposed to {direct}.
  
      2. (Bot.) Inverted; having a position or mode of attachment
            the reverse of that which is usual.
  
      3. (Math.) Opposite in nature and effect; -- said with
            reference to any two operations, which, when both are
            performed in succession upon any quantity, reproduce that
            quantity; as, multiplication is the inverse operation to
            division. The symbol of an inverse operation is the symbol
            of the direct operation with -1 as an index. Thus sin-1 x
            means the arc whose sine is x.
  
      {Inverse figures} (Geom.), two figures, such that each point
            of either figure is inverse to a corresponding point in
            the order figure.
  
      {Inverse points} (Geom.), two points lying on a line drawn
            from the center of a fixed circle or sphere, and so

            center of the circle or sphere is equal to the square of
            the radius.
  
      {Inverse}, [or] {Reciprocal}, {ratio} (Math.), the ratio of
            the reciprocals of two quantities.
  
      {Inverse}, [or] {Reciprocal, {proportion}, an equality

      {Reciprocal figures} (Geom.), two figures of the same kind
            (as triangles, parallelograms, prisms, etc.), so related
            that two sides of the one form the extremes of a
            proportion of which the means are the two corresponding
            sides of the other; in general, two figures so related
            that the first corresponds in some special way to the
            second, and the second corresponds in the same way to the
            first.
  
      {Reciprocal proportion} (Math.), a proportion such that, of
            four terms taken in order, the first has to the second the
            same ratio which the fourth has to the third, or the first
            has to the second the same ratio which the reciprocal of
            the third has to the reciprocal of the fourth. Thus, 2:5:
            :20:8 form a reciprocal proportion, because 2:5:

      Syn: Mutual; alternate.
  
      Usage: {Reciprocal}, {Mutual}. The distinctive idea of mutual
                  is, that the parties unite by interchange in the same
                  act; as, a mutual covenant; mutual affection, etc. The
                  distinctive idea of reciprocal is, that one party acts
                  by way of return or response to something previously
                  done by the other party; as, a reciprocal kindness;
                  reciprocal reproaches, etc. Love is reciprocal when
                  the previous affection of one party has drawn forth
                  the attachment of the other. To make it mutual in the
                  strictest sense, the two parties should have fallen in
                  love at the same time; but as the result is the same,
                  the two words are here used interchangeably. The
                  ebbing and flowing of the tide is a case where the
                  action is reciprocal, but not mutual.

   Reciprocal \Re*cip"ro*cal\, n.
      1. That which is reciprocal to another thing.
  
                     Corruption is a reciprocal to generation. --Bacon.
  
      2. (Arith. & Alg.) The quotient arising from dividing unity
            by any quantity; thus [ac] is the reciprocal of 4; 1/(a +
            b) is the reciprocal of a + b. The reciprocal of a
            fraction is the fraction inverted, or the denominator
            divided by the numerator.

            that two sides of the one form the extremes of a
            proportion of which the means are the two corresponding
            sides of the other; in general, two figures so related
            that the first corresponds in some special way to the
            second, and the second corresponds in the same way to the
            first.
  
      {Reciprocal proportion} (Math.), a proportion such that, of
            four terms taken in order, the first has to the second the
            same ratio which the fourth has to the third, or the first
            has to the second the same ratio which the reciprocal of
            the third has to the reciprocal of the fourth. Thus, 2:5:
            :20:8 form a reciprocal proportion, because 2:5:
            :1/20:1/8.
  
      {Reciprocal quantities} (Math.), any two quantities which
            produce unity when multiplied together.
  
      {Reciprocal ratio} (Math.), the ratio between the reciprocals
            of two quantities; as, the reciprocal ratio of 4 to 9 is
            that of [ac] to 1/9.
  
      {Reciprocal terms} (Logic), those terms which have the same
            signification, and, consequently, are convertible, and may
            be used for each other.
  
      Syn: Mutual; alternate.
  
      Usage: {Reciprocal}, {Mutual}. The distinctive idea of mutual
                  is, that the parties unite by interchange in the same
                  act; as, a mutual covenant; mutual affection, etc. The
                  distinctive idea of reciprocal is, that one party acts
                  by way of return or response to something previously
                  done by the other party; as, a reciprocal kindness;
                  reciprocal reproaches, etc. Love is reciprocal when
                  the previous affection of one party has drawn forth
                  the attachment of the other. To make it mutual in the
                  strictest sense, the two parties should have fallen in
                  love at the same time; but as the result is the same,
                  the two words are here used interchangeably. The
                  ebbing and flowing of the tide is a case where the
                  action is reciprocal, but not mutual.
