a one to one function is a function such that f(a)=f(b) implies a=b. So we know y=x^2 is not one to one because -1 doesn't equal 1 but f(-1)=f(1)
or whatever we can just think about the horizontal line test if that makes things easier for you
to me y=|x| is easiest to draw of the 4 |dw:1418767927917:dw| do you think this passes the horizontal line test
|dw:1418767965594:dw| draw infinitely many horizontal lines on your picture if your function touches any horizontal line more than once then it is not 1 to 1 so if there is just one horizontal line that touches the function more than once then isn't 1 to 1 so y=|x| is one to one or not one to one?
