Horizontal Line Test

We say [math]\text{f:A\longrightarrow B}[/math] is a 1 to 1 function if whenever [math]a,b\in A[/math] and [math]a\ne b[/math] we have [math]f\left(a\right)\ne f\left(b\right)[/math]. The mathematical term 'injective' is also used for these functions.[br]We say [math]f:A\longrightarrow B[/math] is an onto function if the range of [math]f[/math] is equal to [math]B[/math]. The mathematical term 'surjective' is also used for these functions.[br][br]On the following graph, adjust the values of [math]a[/math] to move the line [math]y=a[/math] and find points of intersection between the line and the function [math]f(x)[/math].
Graph of f(x)
1A)
Is this function 1-1? Explain your answer.
2A)
Are there any intervals for which f(x) is 1-1?
3A)
Is this function onto? Explain why.
Now consider the function [math]g(x)=x^4 -x^2[/math] below:
Graph of g(x)
1B)
Is this function injective? Explain your answer.
2B)
Are there any intervals for which f(x) is injective?
3B)
Is this function surjective? Explain why.
What features should a graph have in order to represent a 1-1 function? What about an onto function? Test your conjectures by entering a function in the graph below and applying the appropriate tests.
