Question
Answer
One-to-one functions pass both the ______ & ______ test.   Vertical & Horizontal line test.  
🗑
Determine if this function is a one-to-one function. Explain why. f= { (4, 2,), (3, 1), (-6, 12), (-2, 0) }   f is one-to-one since each y-value corresponds to only one x-value  
🗑
Determine if this function is a one-to-one function. Explain why. h= { (0, 0), (1, -2), (3, 0), (2, 4) }   h is not one-to-one because the y-value 0 in (0, 0) and (3, 0) corresponds to different x-values.  
🗑
What is a horizontal line test?   If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function at most once, then the function is a one-to-one function.  
🗑
Find the inverse. f= { (0, 2), (-3, 6), (1, -7), (6, 4) }   f^-1 = { (2, 0), (6, -3, (-7, 1), (4, 6) }  
🗑
Find the equation of the inverse of f(x) = 2x^2-3   Step 1. Replace f(x) with y; y = 2x^2-3. Step 2. Switch y & x; x= 2y^2-3 Step 3. Solve for y; x+3=2y^2-3+3, (x+3)/2=(2y^2)/2, √((x+3)/2)= √(y^2), y = √((x+3)/2) Step 4. Replace y with f(x); f(x) = √((x+3)/2)  
🗑
How do you describe the graphs of f(x) and f^-1(x).   The graphs are mirror images of each other or symmetric about the line y = x.  
🗑
Is this an example of an one-to-one function? Explain. http://library.thinkquest.org/20991/media/alg2_vertlinetest.gif   No, because the same y values correspond to different x values and thus does not pass the horizontal line test.  
🗑
Is this an example of an one-to-one function? Explain. http://fomcarynthompson.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/graph20x3.gif   Yes, because each y-value corresponds to only one x-value  
🗑
(f o f^-1) (x) = ??   x  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
