Answer

$ a.\quad g$ is not one-to-one $b.\quad -$

Work Step by Step

$ a.\quad$ The function is quadratic. Its graph is a parabola that opens up, symmetric to the vertical line that passes through the vertex. The vertex is at (0,5) and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis. This graph fails the horizontal line test, as we can take take two x's on either side of the vertex, and they will have the same y-coordinate. For example, $(-1, 6)$ and $(1,6)$ are points on the graph. Therefore, it is possible to draw a horizontal line that intersects a function's graph more than once. It is not one-to-one. $ b.\quad$ -
