To determine if a function represented by ordered pairs is one-to-one (injective), we need to ensure that no two different inputs (x-values) produce the same output (y-value).
Let's evaluate each of the sets of ordered pairs you provided:
-
Set 1: \({(1,3),(4,5),(7,2),(1,5),(4,3)}\)
- Here, the x-value 1 maps to outputs 3 and 5, and the x-value 4 maps to outputs 5 and 3.
- Since there are repeated x-values (1 and 4) that produce different y-values, this set is not one-to-one.
-
Set 2: \({(2,1),(4,3),(6,3),(8,6),(10,9)}\)
- The x-value 4 maps to 3, and the x-value 6 also maps to 3.
- This means multiple x-values map to the same y-value. Thus, this set is not one-to-one.
-
Set 3: \({(7,9),(6,4),(1,2),(5,3),(4,1)}\)
- Each x-value (7, 6, 1, 5, and 4) produces a unique y-value(9, 4, 2, 3, and 1) with no repetitions.
- As a result, this set is one-to-one.
Thus, the only one-to-one function among the given sets is the third set: \({(7,9),(6,4),(1,2),(5,3),(4,1)}\).
