Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on One-to-One Functions!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

from public institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their
personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on One-to-One Functions!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a
learner is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant
competencies and skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in
your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities
for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be
enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you to
assess your knowledge of the different mathematics concepts previously studied
and your skills in performing mathematical problems. These knowledge and skills
will help you understand one-to-one functions. As you go through this lesson,
think of this important question: “How one-to-one functions represents real life
situations”? To find answer, read and perform each activity.

In this module, the learners are expected to demonstrate understanding of key

concepts of inverse functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions.
Learners should also be able to apply concepts of inverse functions, exponential
functions, and logarithmic functions to formulate and solve real-life problems with
precision and accuracy.

Lesson Represent Real-Life
1 Situation using One-to-One
Functions
Start Lesson 10 of this module by assessing your knowledge of representing
real-life situation using one-to-one functions. These knowledge and skill will help
you understand easily on how to represent real-life situation using one-to-one
functions. Seek the assistance of your teacher if you encounter any difficulty.

What’s In

Study the graph below, write the values of y in the table below.

Figure 1 Figure 2

x y
x y
-2
-2
-1

Now you have recall identify the values of x, answer the following questions.

1. What are the values of y in figure 1 and figure 2?

2. What have you noticed on their values?
3. Is the value of x in figure 1 have the same value in y? How about figure 2?
4. Draw horizontal lines each figure. How many times does the horizontal line
intersect on figure 1 and figure 2?
5. What function do you call when no two ordered pairs that have
the same first component have different second component?

Notes to the Teacher

When working on the coordinate plane, a function is a one-to-one

function when it will pass the vertical line test (to make it
a function) and also a horizontal line test (to make it one-to-one).

6
 What’s New

Contact five (5) of your classmates to write their Learner’s Reference Number (LRN)
on the table provided below.
 

Name of the Member Learner’s Reference Number (LRN)

   
   
   
   
   

Questions:

1. What did you observe from the table? Did you notice any repeated LRN?
2. What do you think is the reason why learners have their own LRNs?
3. What kind of function is depicted from the given activity?

What is It

One-to-One Functions
A function f is one-to-one if it never takes the same value twice or
. That is, the same y-value is never paired with
two different x-values.
In the Venn diagram below, function f is a one-to-one since not two inputs
have a common output.

7
 

Figure 1. Venn diagram of a one-to-one function.

 In the Venn diagram below, function f is NOT a one-to-one since the inputs -1 and
0 have the same output.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Figure 2. Venn diagram of a function that is not a one-to-one.

On the other hand, the function g(x) = is not a one-to-one function, because
g(−1) = g(1). There are a lot of real-life applications of a one-to-one function.
Determine whether the given relation is a function. If it is a function, determine
whether it is one-to-one.
 
Example 1: The relation pairing an SSS member to his or her SSS number.

Solution:
Each SSS member is assigned a unique SSS number. Thus, this relation is a
function. Further, two members cannot be assigned the same SSS number,
therefore, the function is one-to-one.
 
 Example 2: The relation pairing a citizenship to a person.

Solution:
The relation is a function because each person has a citizenship. However, a
person can have two citizenship, (dual citizen) therefore, it is not one-to-one
function.
 

8
Graph of a One-to-one Function
If f is a one-to-one function then no two points , have the
same y-value. Therefore, no horizontal line cuts the graph of the equation y = f(x)
more than once. Example. Compare the graphs of the above functions
 

How to Determine if a Function is One-to-One

Horizontal Line test: A graph passes the Horizontal Line Test if each horizontal line
cuts the graph at most once.

A function f is one-to-one if and only if the graph y = f(x) passes the horizontal Line
test.
Example. Which of the following functions are one-to-one?

Figure 3 Figure 4

Figure 3. shows that the horizontal line test intersects more than one, while the
other horizontal line test intersecst no more than one. It means that Figure 4 is an
example of one-to-one function.

Graph A. This cubic function
is indeed a "function" as it
passes the vertical line test. In
addition, this function
possesses the property that
each x-value has one
unique y-value that is not
used by any other x-element.
This characteristic is referred
to as being a 1-1 function.
Notice that this
function passes BOTH a
vertical line test and a
horizontal line test.
Graph B. This absolute value
function passes the vertical
line test to be a function. In
addition, this function has y-
values that are paired with
more than one x-value, such
as (4, 2) and (0, 2). This
function is not one-to-one.
This function passes a vertical
line test
but not a horizontal line test.
