Horizontal Line Test for One-to-One Functions Given a function’s graph, the function is one-to-one if every horizontal line that can intersect the graph does so at one and only one point.

Slide Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Determine whether the graph is a one-to-one function. Solution Example A horizontal line can intersect the graph in more than one point, so the function is not one-to-one.

If necessary, replace f(x) with y. 2.Replace all x’s with y’s and y’s with x’s. 3.Solve the equation from step 2 for y. 4.Replace y with f -1 (x). Existence of Inverse Functions A function has an inverse function if and only if the function is one-to-one.
