To be a function, it has to pass the vertical line test, which means a vertical line drawn anywhere in the graph should cut the graph only once, not more.
To be a one-to-one function, it has to pass the vertical line test as well as the horizontal line test, which means that a horizontal line drawn anywhere in the graph should cut the graph only once, not more.
<em>Of course, it passes the vertical line test, so its a function. </em>
<em>Does it pass the horizontal line test? </em><em>NO! </em><em>As shown in the attached picture, the blue line (horizontal line) cuts the graph at 3 places. We therefore eliminate choices A and B. We can eliminate choice C because nowhere is it required a function to pass through the origin for it to be one-to-one. Hence, the answer is D (blue line shows this).</em>
<em>ANSWER: D</em>
