A piecewise function can be one-to-one, but it is not guaranteed to be. A function is considered one-to-one if each element in the domain maps to a unique element in the range. In the case of a piecewise function, it depends on the specific segments and how they are defined. If each segment of the piecewise function passes the horizontal line test, then the function is one-to-one.

What is a piece-wise function?
for a piecewise function, the domain is broken into pieces, with a different rule defining the function for each piece
What is X2-4 divided by x2 plus 3x plus 2 continuous or discontinuous?
The numerator function x2 - 4 and the denominator function x2 + 3x + 2 are both continuous functions of x for the entire x-axis. However, the quotient of these two functions is not continuous when the denominator function has the value of 0, because division by zero is not defined. The denominator function is 0 when x = -1 or -2. Therefore, the quotient function is not fully continuous over any intervals that include -1 or -2, but it is "piecewise continuous" over other intervals of the x-axis.
What does the horizontal line tell you about a function?
If the function is a one-to-one function, therefore it has an inverse.
Can a one to one function not be a function?
"y = f(x) is a function if it passes the vertical line test. It is a 1-1 function if it passes both the vertical line test and the horizontal line test. " - In order to be a one-to-one function, it first has to BE a function and pass the vertical line test. For example, a relation on a graph like a circle that does not pass the vertical line test is not function nor one-to-one.
What is a type of function whose graph is a nonvertical line?
A monotonic, or one-to-one function.
