Provide an appropriate response.Prove that the function f is one-to-one.f(x) = 3x - 1

What will be an ideal response?


Assume that f(a) = f(b) for any numbers a and b in the domain of f. 
Since f(a) = 3a - 1 and f(b) = 3b - 1, we have
 3a - 1 = 3b - 1
 3a = 3b
   a = b
Thus if f(a) = f(b) then a = b and f is one-to-one.
