Exercise 3.5.2
Replace each with the word finite or countable, depending on which is more appropriate.
- (a)
- The _________ union of sets is an set.
- (b)
- The _________ intersection of sets is an set.
- (c)
- The _________ union of sets is a set.
- (d)
- The _________ intersection of sets is a set.
Answers
- (a)
- Countable, since two countable union can be written as a single countable union over the diagonal (see Exercise 1.2.4). Another way of seeing this is that we can form a bijection between and , therefore a double infinite union can be written as a single infinite union.
- (b)
- Finite
- (c)
- Finite
- (d)
- Countable, by the same logic as in (a) we can write two countable intersections as a single countable intersection.
