Existence: One-to-One Functions and Inverses

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Existence: One-to-One Functions and Inverses interactive also includes:
  • One-to-One Functions
  • Animation: Inverse Functions
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

One-to-one means the answer is simple, right? Given four graphs, pupils use a vertical line to test each graph to find out if they are one-to-one. By using the resource, learners realize that not all one-to-one relations are functions. They then look at one-to-one correspondence and inverse functions using sets of ordered pairs.
