Question 1

Prove using Cantor's theorem that the set of real numbers cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers.

💡 Hint: Think about how you would apply the diagonal method to generate a new number.

Question 2

Consider a set B. If the cardinality of B is 5, determine the cardinality of P(B) and describe what this means in terms of Cantor's theorem.

💡 Hint: Use the exponential relationship between set size and power sets.
