    The cardinality of the set of all finite subsets of an infinite set

    Thanks, but I want to do this without CH. I should not need more than plain old ZFC.

    The cardinality of the set of all finite subsets of an infinite set

    For any infinite K, K^n has the same cardinality as K provided n is finite. Then U{K^n : n in N} has a card equal to lK^1 + K^2 + K^3 ... + K^n...l for all natural numbers n. Each K^n has card lKl so this calculation is equivalent to lKl . aleph_0 which equals lKl because lKl is infinite. I...

    The cardinality of the set of all finite subsets of an infinite set

    O.k. If K is an infinite set, then form U K^n for natural numbers n. We know that if card K = lKl, then K^2 has card lKl. We know that for any finite natural number, K^n has cardinality lKl. The union of all K^n is equivalent to lKl + lKl with the operation repeated countably many times...

    The cardinality of the set of all finite subsets of an infinite set

    I know that it is not true that every finite subset of an infinite set has the same cardinality as the infinite set. No finite subset of an infinite set has the same cardinality as the infinite set. The question was about the set of ALL finite subsets of an infinite set.

    The cardinality of the set of all finite subsets of an infinite set

    How do I prove that the set of all finite subsets of an infinite set has the same cardinality as that infinite set?
