determine if the function is one-to-one.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the function is one-to-one if each x-value has one corresponding y-value and vice versa
use Horizontal Line Test, a test to determine if a function is one-to-one
If a horizontal line intersects a function's graph more than once, then the function is not one-to-one.
your graph, so far I can see when I zoom in, has a part of line in the middle that goes along x-axis which is horizontal line in this case; so, that means more then one value of x has value of y=0
if so, the function is not one-to-one
