How to prove a transformation is injective?

I'm trying to understand how to prove that a transformation is injective. I know it involves showing that every element of the domain maps to a unique element in the codomain, but I'm not sure how to formally demonstrate this. How to prove a transformation is injective?

Injectivity is a crucial characteristic in various mathematical and computational contexts, particularly in fields such as linear algebra, functional analysis, and cryptography.

The concept of injectivity in vector spaces involves a specific type of transformation, known as T, which maps elements from one vector space V to another vector space W.

Injectivity, also referred to as one-to-one mapping, holds true for T if the condition T(u) = T(v) necessarily implies that u and v are identical vectors within the domain space V.

Essentially, this means that no two distinct vectors in V can be mapped to the same vector in W under the transformation T. Each vector in the target space W is uniquely associated with at most one vector from the domain space V.

This property ensures that the transformation T preserves the uniqueness of vectors within the domain space as they are mapped to the target space. It avoids the scenario where multiple inputs lead to the same output.
