Exercise · ZW-EQUIPOTENCE-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
What is needed for two sets \(A\) and \(B\) to be equipotent?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. That there is a bijection \(f\colon A\to B\)
Explanation
Two sets are equipotent when there is a bijection between them. Equality and inclusion are different conditions, and finiteness is not required.
Review the concept: Equipotence
Two sets \(A\) and \(B\) are equipotent if there is a bijection \(f\colon A\to B\). It is written \(A\sim B\).
\[A\sim B \iff \exists\, f\colon A\to B\ \text{biyectiva}\]
