Exercise 7.2.5

If X is the image of ω α by some function f , then | X | α . [Hint: Construct a one-to-one mapping g of X into ω α by letting g ( x ) = the least element of the inverse image of { x } by f .]

Answers

Proof. Clearly f is a function from ω α onto its image X so that it follows from Lemma ?? that | X | | ω α | = α as desired. □

Note that the proof of Lemma ?? uses exactly the technique given in the hint to argue its conclusion.
