Math Problem Statement

A function is one-to-one if the set of ordered pairs are unique and distinct, that is there should be no repetition of x and y values.

Solution

The statement in the image says:

"A function is one-to-one if the set of ordered pairs are unique and distinct, that is there should be no repetition of xx and yy values."

This statement is False.

Explanation:

For a function to be one-to-one (or injective), each unique xx-value must map to a unique yy-value, meaning no two different xx-values should map to the same yy-value. However, the statement incorrectly suggests that there should be no repetition of both xx and yy values.

  • Correct condition for one-to-one function: No two distinct xx-values have the same yy-value.
  • Incorrect condition: No repetition of xx and yy values implies that both the domain and the range should be unique, which is not necessary for a function to be one-to-one.
