Exercise 5.1.13
If and are Dedekind infinite, then is Dedekind infinite. [Hint: Use Exercise 1.11.]
Answers
Proof. Suppose that and are both Dedekind infinite. Then contains a countable subset by Exercise 5.1.11. Also since is Dedekind infinite it is not finite by Exercise 5.1.8. Hence so that there is a . Clearly then the set
is a countable subset of so that is Dedekind infinite by Exercise 5.1.10. □
