Automorphism and conjugation 
Let $G$ be a group and fix $h\in G$. Show that $f:G\to G$ given by $f(g)=h^{-1}gh$ is an automorphism.

Do I need to show that $f$ is bijective first? And then relate it to being an automorphism? A function to be automorphism must be isomorphism, so bijective.
 A: First check it's a homomorphism, i.e. $f_h(ab)=f_h(a)f_h(b)$. In fact since $f_h$ has the same source and target it is an "endomorphism." Then you just need to check bijectivity.
Fact: if $f:A\to B$ has an inverse function $g:B\to A$ (i.e. such that $f\circ g=\mathrm{id}_B$ and $g\circ f=\mathrm{id}_A$) then $f$ and $g$ are bijections (one-to-one and onto).
What do you think the inverse function is? If $f_h(x)=y$, can you solve for $x$ in terms of $y$? Once you've guessed the inverse function (or solved for it) verify it is.
A: For it to be an automorphism it must be a endomorphism and an isomorphism, clearly it's endomorphism because it sends to itself and
$$f_h(ab)=habh^{-1}=hah^{-1}hbh^{-1}=f_h(a)f_h(b)$$
To check Isomorphism we check if it's an epimorphism (surjective) and a monomorphism (injective)
Epimorphism is fairly trivial, if $c$ is given then we have that for $a=h^{-1}ch$ satesfies $f_h(a)=c$ so it's an epimorphism.
For monomorphism we can just check that $\ker f_h = e$ which is also easy, when is $f_h(a)=hah^{-1}=e$? We can't have $a=h$ or $a=h^{-1}$ because then we end with $h$ or $h^{-1}$ as a result which are not $e$, but if $a\neq e$ then we still get a non-identity element so we must have $a=e$ and ergo the kernel is trivial.
Therefore it's a monomorphism, which gives it being an isomorphism which gives it being an automorphism.
