One to one or injective means that each x in the domain maps to a unique y, i.e. the function preserves distinction.
y=(x-1)/(3x+3) is one to one. We can solve for x:
3xy + 3y = x - 1
3y + 1 = x - 3xy = x(1-3y)
x = (3y+1)/(1-3y)
That proves it's one-to-one; for each y we get one x.
That's also one to one,
That's the proof.
That's Not one-to-one
because f(-x)=f(x). We only need a single counterexample; f(1)=7/4, f(-1)=7/4
That's one-to-one, textbook case
That's not one-to-one because the fourth power dominates so this will be sort of parabola-ish, repeating the same big positive values for a negative and positive x.
