False
Let f(x) = x and g(x) = -x on the reals
Each is clearly 1-1.
Then, h(x) = f(x) + g(x) = x + -x = 0 is not 1-1

asked 09/28/21Explain why the following statement must be True, or provide a counterexample to show that it can be False.
If 𝑓 and 𝑔 are one-to-one functions defined on all of ℝ, then the function ℎ(𝑥)=𝑓(𝑥)+𝑔(𝑥) is also one-to-one
