Consider these functions from the set of students in a discrete mathematics class. Under what conditions is the function one-to-one if it assigns to a teacher his or her

  1. Office
  2. Assigned bus to chaperone in a group of buses taking students on a field trip
  3. Salary
  4. Social security number

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Depends on whether teachers share offices.
  2. One-to-one assuming only one teacher per bus.
  3. Most likely not one-to-one, especially if salary is set by a collective bargaining agreement
  4. One-to-one
