  1. Strange question.  Sort of needs more context to be good.

    I'd go for all of them, except the absolute value.

    Even absolute value is opposite if the input is negative, but not in general.

    reciprocal - multiplicative inverse  sort of the same

    negative x = additive inverse of x = minus x  => sort of the same


  2. the answer is reciprocal

    example: 2/3 is the reciprocal of 3/2
