Prove that $(((f_{*})^*)^*)_{*}: P(P(P(P(A))))rightarrow P(P(P(P(B))))$ is injective
$begingroup$
Let $f^*$ be the image of $f$ and $f_{*}$ be the preimage of $f$. How can I prove (step by step, using definitions of images and preimages) that if $f: A rightarrow B$ is injective, then $$(((f_{*})^*)^*)_{*}: P(P(P(P(A))))rightarrow P(P(P(P(B))))$$ is injective?

Guess it's easier to prove that $f$ injective $Rightarrow$ $f^*$ injective and $f_*$ injective. The result will follow.

@lisyarus I think it would be harder to prove that claim, because it's not true ($f^*$ need not be injective).

Hint: Prove the following claims:
- If $f$ is injective, then $f_*$ is injective.
- If $f$ is injective, then $f^*$ is surjective.
- If $f$ is surjective, then $f_*$ is surjective.
- If $f$ is surjective, then $f^*$ is injective.
Now $f$ injective $Rightarrow$ $f_*$ injective $Rightarrow$ $(f_*)^*$ surjective $Rightarrow$ $((f_*)^*)^*$ injective $Rightarrow$ $(((f_*)^*)^*)_*$ injective.
By 1, then 2, then 4, then 1. (Ok, so you don't have to prove 3 if you don't want to).
