One To One Function

The document discusses one-to-one functions and their inverses. A function f is one-to-one if each x-value maps to a unique y-value. The inverse of a one-to-one function f, denoted f^-1, reverses the input and output so the domain and range are swapped. To find the inverse, interchange x and y and solve for y in terms of x. The inverse of a one-to-one function is also a function, but inverting a non-one-to-one function results in a relation that is not a function.

Inverting functions
 If the x- and y-values of a one-to-one function are
interchanged, the result is a function, but
 If the x- and y-values of a function that is not one-
to-one are inverted, the result is no longer a Source:
