Suppose A is an infinite set and B is countable and disjoint from A. Prove that the union A U B is equivalent to A by defining a bijection f: A ----> A U B.
Thus, adding a countably infinite set to an infinite set does not increase its size.

Problem 3 Countable and Uncountable Sets
(a) Show that there are uncountably infinite many real numbers
in the interval (0, 1). (Hint: Prove this by contradiction.
Specifically, (i) assume that there are countably infinite real
numbers in (0, 1) and denote them as x1, x2, x3, · · · ; (ii)
express each real number x1 between 0 and 1 in decimal expansion;
(iii) construct a number y whose digits are either 1 or 2. Can you

Prove Cantor’s original result: for any nonempty set (whether
finite or infinite), the cardinality of S is strictly less than
that of its power set 2S . First show that there is a one-to-one
(but not necessarily onto) map g from S to its power set. Next
assume that there is a one-to-one and onto function f and show that
this assumption leads to a contradiction by defining a new subset
of S that cannot possibly be the image of...
