Why the function W=(3.24 x 10^-3)L^2 is a one to one even if it is a quadratic function?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.   Definition.

     One-to-one is a function for which every element of the range of the function corresponds to exactly one element of the domain.

2.  The natural domain of the given function  W = 3.24+%2A+10%5E%28-3%29%2AL%5E2  is the set of all real numbers.

    On this set the given function is NOT one-to-one, since every two numbers  L  and -L  of the domain map into ONE number L%5E2.



3.  The given function IS one-to-one on the restricted domain  {L | L >= 0} of positive real numbers, for example.
