The function $f$ is one-to-one if and only if $f(x) = f(y) \Rightarrow \;x = y\text{ or }x\ne y \Rightarrow \;f(x) \ne f(y)$

No I will not do this problem for you. That is yours to do.
Just apply the above to $g(x)~.$

What do you think "can you show the steps" means if not 'do it for me'?

Show that if $g(x)=g(y)$ then $x=y$.

"can you show the steps" means that i am trying to understand how to do it for future tests and stop being ignorant, if you don't want to help properly then don't.
