Solution

To determine whether the given function is one-to-one, we need to check if each input (or domain value) maps to a unique output (or range value).

The given set of points is:

{(9,9),(10,10),(11,43),(12,65)}\{(9, 9), (10, 10), (11, 43), (12, 65)\}

Steps to check if the function is one-to-one:

  1. A function is one-to-one if no two different domain values map to the same range value.

  2. In other words, if there are any duplicate y-values, the function will not be one-to-one.

Checking the y-values:

  • The first point is (9,9)(9, 9), so the range value is 9.
  • The second point is (10,10)(10, 10), so the range value is 10.
  • The third point is (11,43)(11, 43), so the range value is 43.
  • The fourth point is (12,65)(12, 65), so the range value is 65.

There are no repeated range values (9, 10, 43, and 65 are all unique).

Conclusion:

Since all the y-values are distinct, this function is one-to-one.

  2. How can you check if a function is one-to-one using its graph?
  3. How can we determine if a function is not one-to-one using a set of ordered pairs?
  4. How do one-to-one functions relate to invertibility?
  5. Can a function be both one-to-one and onto?

Tip: If a function's graph passes the Horizontal Line Test, it's a quick way to check if the function is one-to-one.
