Key Concepts

One-to-One Functions

A one-to-one function (also known as an injective function) is a function where every element of the range is mapped by exactly one element of the domain. This means that no two different inputs in the domain produce the same output, ensuring that the function has a unique inverse.

Inverse Functions

The inverse of a function, when it exists, reverses the operation of the original function. For a one-to-one function, the existence of an inverse is guaranteed, and the inverse function will map every element of the original function's range back to its corresponding element in the domain.

Swapping of Domain and Range

The domain and range of a one-to-one function and its inverse are related by a swap; specifically, the domain of the original function becomes the range of its inverse, and the range of the original function becomes the domain of the inverse. This relationship is inherent in the definition of inverse functions.
