Comment:

 I disagree with the expected result.  Inverse function is mathematical
 inversion, not sign reversal, but "one divided by x", expressed also as "x
 raised to the power minus one".  The "**" operator is Python "raise to the
 power of" notation.  While the Python notation might not be the best to
 use in an educational environment, the action of the inverse button is
 correct.
