Answer:
The function is not one-to-one
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a quadratic function.
[tex]f(x)=x^2-2[/tex]
A function is one-to-one
[tex]\text{if } f(x_1)=f(x_2) \Leftrightarrow x_1=x_2[/tex]
The function given is not one-to-one because there are values of the input [tex]x[/tex], which leads to the same output.
For example.
[tex]y=f(2)=2^2-2=\boxed{2}[/tex]
[tex]y=f(-2)=(-2)^2-2=\boxed{2}[/tex]
