What is a vertical line test in math?

The Vertical Line Test for Functions: If any vertical line intercepts a graph in more than one point, the graph does not define y as a function of x. By the definition of a function, for each value of x we can have at most one value for y.

Can a one to one function not be a function?

"y = f(x) is a function if it passes the vertical line test. It is a 1-1 function if it passes both the vertical line test and the horizontal line test. " - In order to be a one-to-one function, it first has to BE a function and pass the vertical line test. For example, a relation on a graph like a circle that does not pass the vertical line test is not function nor one-to-one.

Can you determine whether the inverse of a function is a function by using vertical line test?

Not quite. You can use a vertical line test on the graph of the inverse mapping, OR you can use a horizontal line test on the original graph. The horizontal line test is used in the same way.


Does a circle pass the vertical line test?

No. Because a vertical line will pass through two points on the graph.
