The horizontal line test is used to determine whether a function is one-to-one and if it had a inverse.

Can you determine whether the inverse of a function is a function by using vertical line test?

Not quite. You can use a vertical line test on the graph of the inverse mapping, OR you can use a horizontal line test on the original graph. The horizontal line test is used in the same way.


What does the horizontal line test prove?

I posted this question myself to be honest because i wasn't sure... but the horizontal line test was made to prove whether the function/graph was an one-to-one function


What are two ways to determine whether a relation is a function?

Two ways to determine whether the relation is a function is use a mapping diagram or use a vertical line test.


What test is used to determine if a graph is a function?

Horizontal line test is used for the determination of a function,if the horizontal line passes through one point of the given graph then it is a function and if it passes through more than one point then it will not a function. * * * * * No! It is a vertical line test. Consider the graph of y = sin(x): a horizontal line line will cross it twice in every 360 degrees! Convince me that y = sin(x) is not a function.


Why a constant function doesn't have an inverse function?

When graphing functions, an inverse function will be symmetric to the original function about the line y = x. Since a constant function is simply a straight, horizontal line, its inverse would be a straight, vertical line. However, a vertical line is not a function. Therefore, constant functions do not have inverse functions. Another way of figuring this question can be achieved using the horizontal line test. Look at your original function on a graph. If any horizontal line intersects the graph of the original function more than once, the original function does not have an inverse. The constant function is a horizontal line. Under the assumptions of the horizontal line test, a horizontal line infinitely will cross the original function. Thus, the constant function does not have an inverse function.
