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.

One-half of the sum of a number and 6 is less than 25. What is the number
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(n + 6) < 25         Distribute

1/2n + 3 < 25

       - 3     - 3           Subtract 3 from both sides

1/2n < 22                  Multiply both sides by 2 or divide by 1/2

n < 44

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the temperatures of patients who registered at a clinic one day. How many patients registered at th
saveliy_v [14]

As the key suggests, the left part is the integer part of the number, while the digit on the right is the decimal part of the number.

So, for example, the first row describes the two values 97.2 and 97.8, while the second row describes the values 98.1, 98.3 (repeated twice), 98.5, 98.6 and 98.7 (repeater three times).

So, the number of values is given by the number of leaves: you simply have to count how many digits are there on the right part of the screen.

The answer is thus 24

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

S=32 D=34

Step-by-step explanation:

{-----------------VARIABLES------------}

D=Drake

S=Stephanie

TA=Total Age

{----------------GIVEN/EQUATIONS-------------}

D=S+2

TA=D+2s

{--------------SUB/SOLVE---------------}

98=D+2S

SUB FOR D

98=3S+2

96=3S

S=32

D=S+2

D=34
