 One to One Function

Definition of a One-to-one Function

A function with domain A is called a one-to-one function if no two
elements of A have the same image or value.

 Consider this question:

"What was the student population of Manuel A.

Roxas High School in the school year 2009-
2010?”

To answer this, the data of the school's student

population, presented in this table of values is
needed.
 The table suggests that the student population is a
function of the school year.
The answer to the question is 4,110 students. This can
be considered as the output of the function.

The input of the function is the school year 2009-

2010. The graph of the function, a scatter plot, is
shown below.
 Consider the next question:

"In what school year was the student

population of Manuel A. Roxas High School
3,440?”

To answer this, the data of the school's student

population is presented here as table of values.

The table suggests that the school year is a function of
the student population.

The answer to the question is school year 2012-2013.

This can be considered as the output of the function.
The input of the function is 3,440 students.

The scatter plot for the function is shown below.

 Note that the result of exchanging the input
(domain) and the output (range) values of the
function gives the inverse of the function.

This is the inverse of the function. If the inverse

is also a function, then, it is called inverse
function.
 Find the domain and the range of each
function and its inverse. Then, determine
whether the inverse is also a function or not.
