Question 83566: The book asks for this group of problems to be tested to see if the function is one-to-one. The book gives an explanation of this test, but it is very short and of little help. Can you explain the testing process a little better? For instance, the example the book gives is f(x) = (sqrt x) + 1. It then assigns nonnegative real numbers a & b such that f(a) = f(b). In the end, a = b. How does this work with real problems like (3x+4)/5?
