Question
Show that $f(x)=x^{2}+1$ is not one-to-one, using values of $f$ (not the horizontal line test).
Step 1
A function is one-to-one (or injective) if every element of the function's domain maps to a unique element of its range. In other words, no two different inputs of the function should give the same output. Show more…
