 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.
We are going to determine whether the following relations are a function and
then determine whether if they are One-to-One Function.

EXAMPLE 1. The relation pairing an SSS member to his or her SSS number.

Solution:
Each SSS member is assigned a unique SSS number. Thus, the relation is a
function. Further, two different members cannot be assigned with the same SSS
number. Thus, the function is one-to-one.

EXAMPLE 2. The relation pairing a real number to its square.

Solution:
Each real number has a unique perfect square. Thus, the relation is a function.
However, two different real numbers such as 2 and −2 may have the same square.
In our example, both 2 and -2 have a square of 4. Thus, the function is not one-to-
one.

EXAMPLE 3. The relation pairing an airport to its airport code. Airport codes are
three letter codes used to uniquely identify airports around the world and prominently
displayed on checked-in bags to denote the destination of these bags. Here are
some examples of airport codes:
• MNL - Ninoy Aquino International Airport (All terminals)
• CEB - Mactan-Cebu International Airport
• DVO - Francisco Bangoy International Airport (Davao)
• JFK - John F. Kennedy International Airport (New York City)
• CDG - Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris, France)

Solution:
Since each airport has a unique airport code, then the relation is a function. Also,
since no two airports share the same airport code, then the function is one-to-one.

EXAMPLE 4. The relation pairing a person to his or her citizenship.

Solution:
The relation is not a function because a person can have dual citizenship (i.e.,
citizenship is not unique).

7
EXAMPLE 5. The relation pairing a distance d (in kilometers) traveled along a given
jeepney route to the jeepney fare for traveling that distance.

Solution:
The relation is a function since each distance traveled along a given jeepney route
has an official fare. In fact, as shown in Lesson 1, the jeepney fare may be
represented by a piecewise function, as shown below: Note that

Note that [ d ] is the floor function applied to d .

If the distance to be traveled is 3 kilometers, then F ( 3 ) =8., However, the function is

not one-to-one because different distances (e.g., 2, 3 or 4 kilometers) are charged
the same rate (₱8.00). That is, because F ( 3 ) =F ( 2 )=F ( 3.5 )=8, then F is not one-to-
one.

We can also determine if a function is one-to-one by using its graph.

Let’s refer to Graph 1.

Graph 1
The graph is a quadratic function. It is not
a one-to-one because the y-value 0 is
paired with two x-values, namely 2 and
−2.

A simple way to determine if a given graph

illustrates a one-to-one function is by
using the horizontal line test.

HORIZONTAL LINE TEST

A function is one-to-one if each horizontal line does not intersect the graph at more
than one point.
Take a look at Graph 2.
Graph 2
This is the graph of the function y=x 3.

8
Using the horizontal line test, we can conclude that this a one-to-one function
because any vertical line does not intersect the graph at more than one point.

Graph 3

This graph passed the horizontal line test.

Therefore, this is a graph of one-to-one function.

Graph 4
This graph also passed both the horizontal line
test and vertical line tests. Therefore, the graph
is a one-to-one function.

9
The Vertical and Horizontal Line Tests
All functions satisfy the vertical line test. All one-to-one functions satisfy both the
vertical and horizontal line tests.

 What I have learned

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.

HORIZONTAL LINE TEST

A function is one-to-one if each horizontal line does not intersect the
graph at more than one point.

The Vertical and Horizontal Line Tests

All functions satisfy the vertical line test. All one-to-one functions
satisfy both the vertical and horizontal line tests.
