6.Which equation defines a one-to-one function? Explain why the others are not, using spe-
cific examples.
A. B. C. D.
7.Only one of the graphs illustrates a one-to-one function. Which one is it? (See Example 2.)
A. B. C. D.
8.Concept Check If a function ƒ is one-to-one and the point lies on the graph of ƒ,
then which point mustlie on the graph of?
A. B. C. D.
If the function is one-to-one, find its inverse. See Examples 1–3.

Concept Check Let. We will see in the next section that this function is one-to-
one. Find each value, always working part (a) before part ( b).

The graphs of some functions are given in Exercises 25 –30. (a)Use the horizontal line test to
determine whether the function is one-to-one. (b)If the function is one-to-one, then graph the
inverse of the function. ( Remember that if ƒis one-to-one and is on the graph of ƒ,then
is on the graph of .) See Example 4.
