If we graph \"y=2x%5E2%2B5x-3\", we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x%5E2%2B5x-3%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which fails the horizontal line test. So the function is not one-to-one\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we graph \"y=abs%28x-2%29\", we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+abs%28x-2%29%29+\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember, \"y=x%5E%28-1%2F2%29\" is the same as \"y=sqrt%28x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we graph \"y=sqrt%28x%29\", we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+sqrt%28x%29%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which passes the horizontal line test. So the function is one-to-one
