Math Problem Statement

Express various sets (natural numbers \( \mathbb{N} \) and real numbers \( \mathbb{R} \)) as the union of infinite subsets or intervals under specific conditions.

Solution

The image contains exercises related to set theory and real analysis. Here’s a breakdown of each exercise for clarity:

  1. Exercise 2.3.3:
    "Express N\mathbb{N} as the union of an infinite number of finite sets InI_n indexed by nNn \in \mathbb{N}."

    • This is asking to express the set of natural numbers, N\mathbb{N}, as a union of finite subsets InI_n, where each InI_n is a finite set and the index nn ranges over the natural numbers.
  2. Exercise 2.3.4:
    "Express R\mathbb{R} as the union of an infinite number of intervals JnJ_n of finite length, indexed by nNn \in \mathbb{N}."

    • This is asking to express the set of real numbers, R\mathbb{R}, as a union of finite-length intervals JnJ_n, indexed by natural numbers nn.
  3. Exercise 2.3.5:
    "Express R\mathbb{R} as the union of an infinite number of intervals JnJ_n of infinite length, indexed by nNn \in \mathbb{N}."

    • Here, you need to express the set of real numbers as a union of intervals JnJ_n with infinite length, again indexed by natural numbers.
  4. Exercise 2.3.6:
    "Express R\mathbb{R} as the union of an infinite number of intervals JxJ_x of finite length, indexed by xR+x \in \mathbb{R}_+, the set of positive reals."

    • This requires expressing the real numbers as a union of finite-length intervals JxJ_x, indexed by positive real numbers xx.
  5. Exercise 2.3.7:
    "Express R\mathbb{R} as the union of an infinite number of intervals JxJ_x of infinite length, indexed by xR+x \in \mathbb{R}_+."

    • This is similar to the previous exercise, but the intervals JxJ_x have infinite length and are indexed by positive real numbers.

Would you like to go through one of these exercises in detail or have any specific questions on how to approach them?

Here are some related questions to consider:

  1. How can the set N\mathbb{N} be decomposed into finite sets InI_n?
  2. What kind of intervals would be used to represent R\mathbb{R} as a union of finite intervals in Exercise 2.3.4?
  3. What would an interval of infinite length look like for Exercise 2.3.5?
  4. How would the indexing by positive real numbers affect the
