one function:
1. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that carries most of the genetic
structures used in the development and functioning of all known living
organisms and microorganisms . It is the hereditary material in humans and
almost all other organisms . Every human being has a unique DNA molecule ,
and every existing DNA molecule is unique to a human being. In other words ,
no two individual has exactly the same DNA molecule.
3. One of the primary moral values that is advocated and taught by the Catholic
Church is the sanctity of the marriage vow. It aims to promote happy marriage
between a living Catholic man and a living Catholic woman who have entered
into a marriage contract, that is, one man-one woman relationship.
These are just some of the situations that use the concept of one-to-one
relationships. This concept will be expounded mathematically in the next
lessons.
ONE-TO-ONE FUNCTION
In Unit One, functions are described as mapping of its domain to its range. Recall that a
relation is one-to-one if and only if each element of its domain corresponds to a unique
element in its range, and each element of its range corresponds to a unique element in its
domain.
In other words, when a function has additional property that no two unique elements of the
domain have the same image in the range, the function is said to be one-to-one. This
suggests that each element of the range is the image of exactly one element of the
domain.
The arrow diagrams below show an example and non-example of one-to-one function:
x₂ y₂ x₂ y₂
x₃ y₃ x₃
Y y
a. b.
V(x)
H(x)
x x
y y
c. C(x) d. L(x)
x x
SOLUTION
a. A horizontal line that passes through the graph of the given function
V(x) may intersect the graph at two points. Hence, the function
represented by the graph is not a one-to-one function.
c. The graph of C(x) and any horizontal line will intersect at only 1 point.
Therefore, it is a one-to-one function.
D. The line L(x) and any horizontal line will intersect at only one point.
Hence, L(x) is a one-to-one function.
The function rule y= f(x) of one-to-one function f defines a
second function fˉ¹, with a function rule y= f ˉ¹ . This
second function is referred to as the inverse of f. If the
typical ordered pair for f is (x, y), the ordered pair for f ˉ¹ is
(y, x). Consequently, the domain of f is the range of f ˉ¹ ,
and the domain of fˉ¹ is the range of f.
