Solution :-

Given f: Z → Z given by f(x) = x3

Now we have to check for the given function is injection, surjection and bijection condition.

Injection condition:

Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (Z), such that f(x) = f(y)

f(x) = f(y)

x3 = y3

x = y

So, f is an injection.

Surjection condition:

Let y be any element in the co-domain (Z), such that f(x) = y for some element x in Z (domain).

f(x) = y

x3 = y

x =\( 3\sqrt{y}\) which may not be in Z.

For example, if y = 3,

x =\( 3\sqrt{3}\) is not in Z.

So, f is not a surjection and f is not a bijection.
