Decide which of the following statements are true and which are false. Prove the true ones and give counterexamples to the false ones.

a) Suppose that E is a set. If there exists a function f from E onto N, then E is at most countable.


b) A dyadic rational is a point xR such that x = n/2m for some nZ and mN. The set of dyadic rationals is uncountable.


c) Suppose that A and B are sets and that f : AB is 1–1. If A is uncountable, then B is uncountable.


d) If E1, E2, . . . are finite sets, and E := E1 × E2 ×· · · := {(x1, x2, . . .) : x jE j for all jN }, then E is countable.
