The correct Answer is:
To determine if the function that assigns the latitude and longitude of each country's capital is one-one, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of a One-One Function A function is considered one-one (or injective) if every element in the domain maps to a unique element in the codomain. In other words, no two different inputs (in this case, countries) can map to the same output (latitude and longitude). ### Step 2: Identify the Domain and Codomain In this scenario: - **Domain**: The set of all countries in the world. - **Codomain**: The set of all possible latitude and longitude pairs. ### Step 3: Analyze the Mapping Each country has a unique capital city, and each capital city has a specific latitude and longitude associated with it. Therefore, when we assign the latitude and longitude of a capital to its corresponding country, we are creating a mapping from countries to their capitals' coordinates. ### Step 4: Check for Uniqueness Since each country has a distinct capital, and each capital has a unique latitude and longitude, this means: - No two countries share the same capital. - Thus, no two countries will have the same latitude and longitude assigned to them. ### Step 5: Conclusion Since every country maps to a unique latitude and longitude, we conclude that the function is one-one. ### Final Answer The function that assigns the latitude and longitude of each country's capital is a one-one function. ---
