1. Let's start by understanding what a one-to-one function is. A function $f$ is one-to-one (or injective) if for every $a$ and $b$ in the domain, whenever $f(a) = f(b)$, it implies that $a = b$.
2. To create a math problem involving one-to-one functions, we can ask to determine if a given function is one-to-one or not.
3. Example problem: Determine if the function $f(x) = 2x + 3$ is one-to-one.
4. To check if $f(x)$ is one-to-one, assume $f(a) = f(b)$:
$$2a + 3 = 2b + 3$$
5. Subtract 3 from both sides:
$$2a = 2b$$
6. Divide both sides by 2:
$$a = b$$
7. Since $a = b$ whenever $f(a) = f(b)$, the function $f(x) = 2x + 3$ is one-to-one.
8. Therefore, the function passes the horizontal line test and is injective.
Final answer: $f(x) = 2x + 3$ is a one-to-one function.
