How would you prove algebraically that the function: f(x)= |x-2|, x<= 2 , is one to one?
I posted this question myself to be honest because i wasn't sure... but the horizontal line test was made to prove whether the function/graph was an one-to-one function
To prove that a function has an inverse, one typically uses the operation of checking for injectivity (one-to-one property). This involves showing that if ( f(a) = f(b) ), then ( a = b ). If the function is injective, it ensures that each output is produced by a unique input, which is essential for the existence of an inverse function. Additionally, for functions defined on the entire real line, demonstrating that the function is also surjective (onto) can further confirm the existence of an inverse.
Expressed algebraically, this is equal to 3x - 1.
The attributes of a transformation of an absolute value function can be demonstrated algebraically by applying specific changes to the function's equation, typically in the form ( f(x) = a|bx - h| + k ). Here, ( a ) affects the vertical stretch/compression and reflection, ( b ) impacts the horizontal stretch/compression, ( h ) represents a horizontal shift (right if positive, left if negative), and ( k ) indicates a vertical shift (up if positive, down if negative). By substituting different values for these parameters, one can illustrate how the graph of the absolute value function changes accordingly.
A square is a rhombus with right angles so you would need to know one of the angles or an exterior angle or another angle that shares a vertex with the shape.
How would you prove algebraically that the following function is one to one? f(x)= (x+3)^2 , x>= -3?
The answer depends on what you wish to prove!

No. If an input in a function had more than one output, that would be a mapping, but not a function.

The zero of a linear function in algebra is the value of the independent variable (x) when the value of the dependent variable (y) is zero. Linear functions that are horizontal do not have a zero because they never cross the x-axis. Algebraically, these functions have the form y = c, where c is a constant. All other linear functions have one zero.For example, if your equation is 3x + 11y = 6, you would substitute zero for y, the term 11y would drop out of the equation and the equation would become 3x = 6x = 2

It cannot be simplified algebraically and needs to be calculated.
Yes, an inverse can be a function, but this depends on the original function being one-to-one (bijective). A one-to-one function has a unique output for every input, allowing for the existence of an inverse that also meets the criteria of a function. If the original function is not one-to-one, its inverse will not be a function, as it would map a single output to multiple inputs.
