You should take a screenshot and paste it into paint... the pic is pretty tiny.

Try it. Draw or imagine drawing a horizontal line through the function - will it ever cross the function twice?

OpenStudy (vortish):

i dont understand

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Do you know what the horizontal line test is? draw a horizontal line through the function and see if it ever touches the function more than once.

OpenStudy (vortish):

no i do not this did not come up in homework

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

see here: http://www.mathwords.com/h/horizontal_line_test.htm Will the red line in the attachment ever touch the function more than once, if we moved the red line up or down?

OpenStudy (vortish):

no it would not so the answer is no

OpenStudy (vortish):

thanks for explaining that

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Correct :) Now hopefully you understand the horizontal line test. All it is is drawing/imagining a horiz. line and seeing if it touches the graph more than once.

OpenStudy (vortish):
