Review
What is the previous lesson?
What is a function?
What is the vertical line test?
Objectives
• represents real-life situations using one-to-
one functions.
• defines one-to-one function; and
• illustrates the horizontal line test.
Activity
• Think of a real-life example of function.
For instance, pairing of student to his mother.
Pairing a vehicle to its plate number. Jeepney
fare. (30s) As much as possible, your function
must be unique.
Examples
1. Pairing a LRN to a student (one-to-one).
2. Pairing a number to its square (not one-to-
one)
3. Pairing a student to his mother (not one-
to-one)
4. Pairing a vehicle to its plate number (one-
to-one)
5. Jeepney Fare (not one-to-one).
Not a function
Function but not 1-1
One-to-one
Question
• Which of the functions you have written is
one-to-one?
• Why?
Definition
The function is said to be one-to-one, , if ,
then .
Equivalently, if , then .
Meaning, any -value is never paired with two
different -values.
Example
Determine if is one-to-one function.
1.
Since, there are two values for in a given .
Hence, the function is not one-to-one.
2.
Since, implies , the function is 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.
Example
Question
What is the difference of a one-to-one
function to the other function?

Objectives
• determines the inverse of a one-to-one function.
• represents an inverse function through its: (a) table
of values, and (b) graph.
• finds the domain and range of an inverse function.
𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) =2 𝑥 +1
Since, implies , the function is one-to-one.
