Example: Determining if the Relation is a One-to-One Function
Consider the relation defined by the set of ordered pairs: \{(-4, 8), (-2, 4), (-1, 2), (0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4), (4, 8)\}$. First, observe that each xyyxy8x = -4x = 4y4x = -2x = 2y2x = -1x = 1yx$$-value, this function is not one-to-one.

In a company database, a one-to-one function is used to map each employee (-value) to a unique security badge number (-value). Based on the definition of a one-to-one function, which of the following must be true about the badge numbers in this system?
In a corporate HR database, if the mapping of 'Employee ID Numbers' () to 'Company Email Addresses' () is a one-to-one function, then it is possible for two different Employee ID Numbers to be associated with the same Company Email Address.

A distribution center tracks the deviation of a package's weight from its target () and the corresponding cost adjustment (). The data is recorded as the set: . Based on the definition of a one-to-one function, why is this relation NOT considered one-to-one?
A machine calibration log records a setting adjustment () and the corresponding error output () as the set of ordered pairs: . This relation is considered a one-to-one function because no -value is repeated in the pairings.
A warehouse inventory system tracks the deviation from a target stock level () and the resulting priority level (). The data is recorded as the set: . Match each priority level () with the pair of deviation values () that result in that same priority, demonstrating why the relation is not a one-to-one function.

A warehouse management system assigns a priority level () to inventory locations based on their distance from the main loading dock (). The mapping is represented by the following set of ordered pairs: . According to the definition of a one-to-one function, this relation is NOT one-to-one because the priority level of ____ is assigned to both the location at and the location at .
