Provide an appropriate response.Prove that the function f is one-to-one.f(x) = x3 - 4

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) = a3 - 4 and f(b) = b3 - 4, we have
 a3 - 4 = b3 - 4
 a3  = b3
   a = b
Thus if f(a) = f(b) then a = b and f is one-to-one.
