Exercise 7.2.5
If is the image of by some function , then . [Hint: Construct a one-to-one mapping of into by letting the least element of the inverse image of by .]
Answers
Proof. Clearly is a function from onto its image so that it follows from Lemma ?? that as desired. □
Note that the proof of Lemma ?? uses exactly the technique given in the hint to argue its conclusion.
