more than one

[more than one|more than one] The inverse of a function maps inputs to outputs.

Definition

more than one The inverse of a function maps inputs to outputs. If an input value is mapped to more than one output value, the inverse does not correspond to a valid function.

Causes

When multiple solutions exist in a break-even analysis, determining which x-values represent profit requires evaluating the corresponding output values. The entity more than one indicates that the same output may correspond to more than one input.

Effects

more than one If multiple solutions exist from a break-even analysis, the entity affects determining which x-values correspond to profit and which do not. The entity's impact is evident when the same output may correspond to more than one input.
