functional equations - Find all functions $f:mathbb Rto mathbb R$ such that $f(a^2+b^2)=f(a^2-b^2)+f(2ab)$ for every real $a$,$b$

I guessed $f(a)=a^2$ and $f(a)=0$, but have no idea how to get to the solutions in a good way.



Edit: I did what was suggested:



from $a=b=0$



$f(0)=0$



The function is even, because from $b=-a$




$f(2a^2)=f(-2a^2)$.

analysis - Injection, making bijection

I have injection $f \colon A \rightarrow B$ and I want to get bijection. Can I just resting codomain to $f(A)$? I know that every function i...
