Kenneth Rosen Edition 7th Exercise 2.5 Question 40 (Page No. 177)
Show that if $S$ is a set, then there does not exist an onto function $f$ from $S$ to $P(S),$ the power set of $S$. Conclude that $\mid S\mid < \mid P(S)\mid .$ This result is known as Cantor's theorem. [Hint: Suppose such a ... $s$ can exist for which $f (s) = T.]$

Conclude that $\mid S\mid < \mid P(S)\mid .$ This result is known as Cantor’s theorem. [Hint: Suppose such a function $f$ existed. Let $T = \{s \in S \mid s \notin f (s)\}$ and show that no element $s$ can exist for which $f (s) = T.]$

Kenneth Rosen Edition 7th Exercise 2.5 Question 39 (Page No. 177)
We say that a function is computable if there is a computer program that finds the values of this function. Use question $37$ and $38$ to show that there are functions that are not computable.

Show that the set of functions from the positive integers to the set $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$ is uncountable. [Hint: First set up a one-to-one correspondence between the set of real numbers between $0$ and $1$ and a subset of ... to the real number $0.\:d_{1}d_{2} \dots d_{n}\dots $ the function $f$ with $f (n) = dn.]$
Show that the set of functions from the positive integers to the set $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$ is uncountable. [Hint: First set up a one-to-one correspondence between the set of real numbers between $0$ and $1$ and a subset of these functions. Do this by associating to the real number $0.\:d_{1}d_{2} \dots d_{n}\dots $ the function $f$ with $f (n) = dn.]$

Show that there is no one-to-one correspondence from the set of positive integers to the power set of the set of positive integers. [Hint: Assume that there is such a one-to-one correspondence. Represent a subset of the set of ... $ith$ string in the list. Show that this new bit string cannot appear in the list.]
Show that there is no one-to-one correspondence from the set of positive integers to the power set of the set of positive integers. [Hint: Assume that there is such a one-to-one correspondence. Represent a subset of the set of positive integers as an infinite bit string with ... complement of the $ith$ bit of the $ith$ string in the list. Show that this new bit string cannot appear in the list.]

Kenneth Rosen Edition 7th Exercise 2.5 Question 32 (Page No. 177)
Show that when you substitute $(3n + 1)^{2}$ for each occurrence of $n$ and $(3m + 1)^{2}$ for each occurrence of m in the right-hand side of the formula for the function $f (m, n)$ in question $31,$ you ... $Q \times Q \rightarrow Q.$
Show that when you substitute $(3n + 1)^{2}$ for each occurrence of $n$ and $(3m + 1)^{2}$ for each occurrence of m in the right-hand side of the formula for the function $f (m, n)$ in question $31,$ you obtain a one-to-one polynomial function $Z \times Z \rightarrow Z.$ It is an open question whether there is a one-to-one polynomial function $Q \times Q \rightarrow Q.$
