Let S be the set of real numbers between 0 and 1, inclusive; i.e. S = [0, 1]. Let T be the set of real numbers between 1 and 3 inclusive (i.e. T = [1, 3]). Show that S and T have the same cardinality.

Answer #1

Two sets A and B have the same cardinality iff there exists a bijection from one onto the other.

The solution has been obtained by exhibiting an explicit bijection from S onto T. A pictorial representation showing such a bijection has been provided. Loosely speaking, every point on the interval [0,1] is related to a unique point on [1,3] via the bijection. The endpoints of S are mapped onto the corresponding endpoints of T.

If we let N stand for the set of all natural numbers, then we write 6N for the set of natural numbers all multiplied by 6 (so 6N = {6, 12, 18, 24, . . . }). Show that the sets N and 6N have the same cardinality by describing an explicit one-to-one correspondence between the two sets.

Let V be the set of all triples (r,s,t) of real numbers with the standard vector addition, and with scalar multiplication in V defined by k(r,s,t) = (kr,ks,t). Show that V is not a vector space, by considering an axiom that involves scalar multiplication. If your argument involves showing that a certain axiom does not hold, support your argument by giving an example that involves specific numbers. Your answer must be well-written.
