Question
Problem 79E
a) Show that if a set S has cardinality m, where m is a positive integer, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between S and the set {1. 2,...,m).
b) Show that if S and T are two sets each with m elements. where m is a positive integer, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between S and T.
Solution
The first step in solving 2.3 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 79Ea) Show that if a set S has cardinality m, where m is a positive integer, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between S and the set {1. 2,...,m).b) Show that if S and T are two sets each with m elements. where m is a positive integer, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between S and T.
From the textbook chapter Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
