Answer:

To remedy confusions like yours and to avoid the needless case analyses, I prefer to define X to be countable if there is a surjection from N to X.

This definition is equivalent to a few of the many definitions of countability, so we are not losing any generality.

It is a matter of convention whether we allow finite sets to be countable or not (though, amusingly, finite sets are the only ones whose elements you could ever finish counting).

So, if A and B be countable, let f:N→A and g:N→B be surjections. Then the two sequences (f(n):n⩾1)=(f(1),f(2),f(3),…) and (g(n):n⩾1)=(g(1),g(2),g(3),…) eventually cover all of A and B, respectively; we can interleave them to create a sequence that will surely cover A∪B:

(h(n):n⩾1):=(f(1),g(1),f(2),g(2),f(3),g(3),…).

An explicit formula for h is h(n)=f((n+1)/2) if n is odd, and h(n)=g(n/2) if n is even.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A and B are two countable sets

We have to show that if A and B are countable then A\cup B is countable.

Countable means finite set or countably infinite.

Case 1: If A and B are two finite sets

Suppose A={1} and B={2}

A\cup B={1,2}=Finite=Countable

Hence, A\cup B is countable.

Case 2: If A finite and B is countably infinite

Suppose, A={1,2,3}

B=N={1,2,3,...}

Then, A\cup B={1,2,3,....}=N

Hence,A\cup B is countable.

Case 3:If A is countably infinite and B is finite set.

Suppose , A=Z={..,-2,-1,0,1,2,....}

B={-2,-3}

A\cup B=Z=Countable

Hence, A\cup B countable.

Case 4:If A and B are both countably infinite sets.

Suppose A=N and B=Z

Then,A\cup B=N\cup Z=Z

Hence,A\cup B is countable.

Therefore, if A and B are countable sets, then A\cup B is also countable.

Answer:

159 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A full semicircle (or half circle) has a degrees of 180. And x is equal that semicircle so x = 180, now if we subtract 21 from 180 we get 159, so X = 159.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The population of 75 hours from now would be 40,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is because your initial number is 10,000 and when 25 hours pass by, your population would be 20,000. Another 25 hours pass by, and then your population would be 40,000. If you multiply 25 by 3, you will notice 75 hours have just passed, so your answer would be 40,000.
