7. (a) Find an explicit bijection from (0, ?) to (0, 1), and prove that it is a bijection. (b) Find an explicit bijection from ? to [0, 1], and prove that it is a bijection. (Hint: write [0, 1] = {1} ? [0, 1) and use various bijections from the previous problems.)

Step 1

We can define the following function: f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{n+1}, & \text{if } x = \frac{1}{n} \text{ for some integer } n \geq 1 \\ x, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} Now, let's prove that f is a bijection: Show more…

(a) Find an explicit bijection from (0,∞) to (0, 1), and prove that it is a bijection. (b) Find an explicit bijection from ℝ to [0, 1], and prove that it is a bijection. (Hint: write [0, 1] = {1} ∪ [0, 1) and use various bijections from the previous problems.)
