problem 6:-
suppose A and B are countable sets . Prove that A×B is countable
Proof:- three cases arise
case I:
If both A and B are finite say |A|=m and |B|=n
then it is easy to show
|A×B|=mn
so A×B is finite this implies A×B is countable
case II :-
If A is finite with |A|=n (say)
and B is countably infinite
then by definition of countability there exists bijective functions say
f:A→{1,2,3,...n}
and
g:B→N
now define a function
h:A×B→N
Such that for all (a,b)A×B
h(a,b)= 2f(a) 3g(b)
then clearly h is onto(injective) by unique factorization of each natural number
that means
|A×B|≤|N|
=> A×B is countable
case III :-
If both A and B countably infinite then by definition there exists bijective functions say f and g such that
f:A→N and g:B→N
now define
h:A×B→N and as in above 2nd case we get h as an injective (onto) function
and that means
|A×B|≤N
this implies A ×B is countable
and we are done
