An inversion is the transfer of the lower sound of an interval or chord up an octave or the upper sound down an octave. The dominant seventh chord (D7) has three inversions: 1) The first inversion of D7 is the dominant quintessex chord (D65 or D65). It is built on the 7th degree of the major and the seventh of the raised harmonic minor. It consists of m3 + m3 + b2 (or Um53 + b2) and resolves into a full tonic triad (T53) with a doubled fundamental tone (lower sound). 2) The second inversion of D7 is a dominant third-fourth chord (D43 or D43). It is built on the 2nd degree of the major and harmonic minor. It consists of m3 + b2 + b3 and resolves into a full expanded (an octave between the extreme sounds) tonic triad (T53). 3) The third inversion of D7 is a dominant second chord (D2 or D2). It is built on the 4th degree of the major and harmonic minor. It consists of b2 + b3 + m3 (or b2 + B53 or b2 + D53) and resolves into a tonic sixth chord (T6) with a doubled fundamental tone (upper sound).
