Show that $f$ is a one-to-one function.
Proof: we are given $f:A\rightarrow{A}$ with $f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x-3}$ and we are to proof that $f$ is a one-to-one function. Recall that a one-to-one function is defined thus: $\forall{x,y}\in{A}(f(x)=f(y)\Rightarrow{x=y})$.
Let $x,y\in{A}$ with $f(x)=f(y)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{x+2}{x-3}=\frac{y+2}{y-3}$
$\Rightarrow(x+2)(y-3)=(x-3)(y+2)$
$\Rightarrow{xy-3x+2y-6=xy+2x-3y-6}$
$5y=5x\Rightarrow{y=x}$
Hence, $y=x$ satisfies our definition of a one-to-one function.
