2. If every line intersects the graph of a
function in at most point, the function is
one-to-one.

CONCEPTS AND VOCABULARY
Fill in each blank with the appropriate word or phrase. Carefully reread the section if needed.
1. A function is one-to-one if each coordinate
corresponds to exactly first coordinate.
3. A certain function is defined by the ordered pairs
, and (4, 19). The inverse
function is .

4. To find using the algebraic method, we (1) use
instead of f(x), (2) x and y,
(3) for y and replace y with .f

Determine whether the functions given are one-to-one.
If not, state why.

17.
18.
Determine if the functions given are one-to-one by noting
the function family to which each belongs and mentally
picturing the shape of the graph. If a function is not one-to-
one, discuss how the definition of one-to-oneness is violated.
