We denote by N^∞= {(a_1, a_2, a_3, . . .) : a_j ∈ N for all j ∈ Z^+}. Prove that N^∞is uncountable.
Please answer questions in clear hand-writing and show me the full process, thank you (Sometimes I get the answer which was difficult to read).
To prove that
is uncountable we will provide an one-to-one function
from
to
.
We know that every real number in the interval
have unique binary representation generated by the numbers 0 and 1
that is for each
,
can be written as of the form
where each
is either 0 and 1 .
is defined by ,
Now we will prove that
is one-to-one .
Let ,
for all
for all
So the map is one-to-one .
As the set
is uncountable and there exist a one-to-one map from
to
. Hence the set
is uncountable .
