Answer

Final Answer: The function is one-to-one and the inverse function is \(\boxed{f^{-1}=\{(-1,-1),(6,6),(4,0),(0,4)\}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :A function is one-to-one if every element in the domain maps to a unique element in the range. In other words, no two different elements in the domain map to the same element in the range.

Step 2 :To determine if the function is one-to-one, we need to check if there are any repeated values in the range (second element of each pair). If there are, then the function is not one-to-one. If there aren't, then it is one-to-one and we can find the inverse by switching the coordinates.

Step 3 :Given function is \(f=\{(-1,-1),(6,6),(4,0),(0,4)\}\)

Step 4 :The function is one-to-one since there are no repeated values in the range.

Step 5 :The inverse function can be found by switching the coordinates of each pair in the function.

Step 6 :Final Answer: The function is one-to-one and the inverse function is \(\boxed{f^{-1}=\{(-1,-1),(6,6),(4,0),(0,4)\}}\)
