Not One-to-One
Function
Definition:

•The function f is one-to-one if for

any x1, x2 in the domaIn of f, then f
(x1) ≠ f (x2). That is, the same y –
value is never paired with two
different x – values.
Determining whether a function is
one-to-one:
• For the following function, the domain represents the age of five
males and the range represents their HDL (good) cholesterol
(mg/dL). Age HDL Cholesterol

38
This function is 57
not one-to-one 42
because two 54
different inputs, 55 46
and 61, have the 34
same output of 38. 55

61
Determining whether a function is
one-to-one:

{(-2, 6), (-1,3), (0,2), (1,5), (2,8)}

This function is one-to-one because there

are no two distinct inputs that correspond to
the same output.
Determining whether a function is
one-to-one:

f (x) = 2x – 5
f (x1) = f (x2)
2x1 – 5 = 2x2 - 5
x1 = x2
f is one-to-one function
Determining whether a function is
one-to-one:
f(x) = x² + 3
f (x1) = f (x2)
x²1 + 3 = x²2 + 3
x²1 = x²2
√x²1 = √x²2
±x1 = ±x2
f is not one-to-one because f(2)= f(-2) = 7

Determinine wether the given relation is a function.
If it is a function, determine wether it is one-to-one:

The relation pairing an SSS

member to his or her SSS number.
The relation is a function, and the
function is one-to-one.
Determinine wether the given relation is a function.
If it is a function, determine wether it is one-to-one:

The relation pairing a real

number to its square.

If it is a function, determine wether it is one-to-one:

The relation pairing an airport to its

airport code...
• MNL – Ninoy Aquino International Aiport (All terminals)
• CEB – Mactan-Cebu International Aiport
• DVO – Francisco Bangoy International Aiport (Davao)
• JFK – John F. Kennedy International Aiport (New York
City)
Determinine wether the given relation is a function.
If it is a function, determine wether it is one-to-one:

The relation pairing a

person to his or her
citizenship.
The relation is not a function.
Determinine wether the given relation is a function. If it is a
function, determine wether it is one-to-one:

The relation pairing a distance d

(kilometers) traveled along the given
jeepney route to the jeepney fare for
traveling the distance.
The relation is a function, and the
function is not one-to-one.
HORIZONTAL LINE TEST

A function is one-to-one if each horizontal

line does not intersect the graph at more
than one point
• A graph showing the plot y= x² - 4 fails the
horizontal line test because some lines
intersect the graph at more than one point
THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL
LINE TEST
• All functions satisfy the vertical line test. All
one-to-one functions satisfy both the
vertical and horizontal line tests.
