5. For each of the functions given below, write down the domain, D, of
f and determine, with justification, whether f : D → R is 1-1. To
show that a function is not one–one you need only find ONE coun-
terexample; i.e. find specific numbers a and b such that f (a) = f (b).
To show that a function is one–one you should demonstrate either that
f (a) = f (b) implies a = b or sketch the curve and use the horizontal
line test.
