English
For a function f: α → α and a natural number n, the n-fold preimage by f equals the n-fold preimage operator applied to f: preimage f^[n] = (preimage f)^[n].
Русский
Для функции f: α → α и натурального числа n верно, что n-кратный предобраз f равен n-кратному композиционному применению предобраза: preimage f^[n] = (preimage f)^[n].
