Let $(W,<)$ be a well-ordered set, and let $a 
otin W$.
  Extend $<$ to $W' = W \cup \braces{a}$ by making $a$ greater than all $x \in W$.
  Then $W$ has a smaller order type than $W'$.

This problem is looking ahead to future sections where order types and how to compare them are defined.
  \qproof{
    Suppose that $\a$ is the order type of $W$ and that $f : W 	o \a$ is the isomorphism.
    Now let $\b = S(\a) = \a \cup \braces{\a}$.
    We then claim that $W'$ is isomorphic to $\b$.
    So define a $g : W' 	o \b$ by
    $$
      g(w) = \begin{cases}
        f(w) & w \in W    \
        \a   & w 
otin W
      \end{cases}
    $$
    for $w \in W'$.
    Clearly we have that $g(w) \in \b$ for any $w \in W'$.

Now consider any $x \in \b$.
    If $x = \a$ then set $w = a 
otin W$ so that $g(w) = \a = x$.
    If $x 
eq \a$ then $x \in \a$ so set $w = \inv{f}(x)$ so that then $w \in W$.
    We then have that $g(w) = f(w) = f(\inv{f}(x)) = x$.
    Therefore $g$ is surjective.

Now consider any $w_1, w_2 \in W'$ where $w_1 < w_2$

Case: $w_1, w_2 \in W$.
    Then since $f$ is an isomorphism and $w_1 < w_2$ we have that $g(w_1) = f(w_1) < f_(w_2) = g(w_2)$.

Case: $w_1 \in W$ and $w_2 = a$.
    Then $g(w_1) = f(w_1) \in \a$ and $w_2 
otin W$ so that $g(w_2) = \a$.
    Hence $g(w_1) \in g(w_2)$ so that by the definition of $<$ we have that $g(w_1) < g(w_2)$.

Note that these cases are exhaustive since it can't be that $w_1 = w_2 = \a$ since $w_1 < w_2$ (and therefore $w_1 
eq w_2$).
    It also cannot be that $w_2 \in W$ but $w_1 = a$ since then it would be that $w_2 \leq w_1$ since $a$ is the greatest element of $W'$, which contradicts $w_1 < w_2$.
    Thus in all cases $g(w_1) < g(w_2)$ so that $g$ is increasing, and therefore injective and an isomorphism.

Hence $\b$ is the order type of $W'$, $\a$ is the order type of $W$, and $\a < \b$ since $\a \in \b$.
