In summary, to prove that the number of rational numbers between 0-1 is equal to those between 1-2, we just need to find a bijection between the two intervals. One suitable bijection is f(x)=x+1. This means that for any number x in [0,1], f(x) will be in [1,2], showing that the number of rationals in both intervals is the same. Additionally, using the function f(x)=2x, we can also prove that the number of rationals in [0,1] is the same as the number of rationals in [0,2]. The value of x in this context represents any number in [0,1].

between 0-1 there are infinite number of rational numbers now between 1-2 there are also infinite number of rational numbers, how can we proove that the number of rational numbers between 0-1 equals to those between 1-2?

does the difference of the domains which equals to each other (1) has any significance?

To show that the number of rationals on [0,1] is the same as the number of rationals on [1,2] you just need to find a bijection from [0,1] to [1,2].

Clearly [itex]f(x)=x+1[/itex] is a suitable bijection.

what is x represnts in this context? (the number of rational numbers?).
 
  • #4
x represents any number in [0, 1]

let me see if i understand, x is in [0,1] then f(x) is in [1,2] therefore f:x->f(x) therefore the number of rationals in [0,1] equals to [1,2].

Also, using the function f(x)=2x, one can prove the number of rationals in [0, 1] is the same as the number of rationals in [0, 2]
 

Related to Domains which equals to each other (1) has any significance?

1. What does it mean when two domains are equal to each other?

When two domains are equal to each other, it means that they have the same elements or values. In other words, they are identical or have no difference between them.

2. Is there any significance to two domains being equal?

Yes, there can be significance to two domains being equal. It can indicate a relationship or connection between the two domains, or it can provide evidence for a mathematical or scientific theory.

3. Can two domains that are equal have different names?

Yes, two domains that are equal can have different names. This is because the names of domains are simply labels or identifiers, and do not affect the actual elements or values within the domain.

4. How do you determine if two domains are equal?

To determine if two domains are equal, you need to compare their elements or values. If they have the same elements or values, then they are equal. This can be done through mathematical or scientific methods, such as set theory or statistical analysis.

5. Can two domains be equal but have different sizes?

Yes, two domains can be equal but have different sizes. This can occur if the domains have the same elements, but the elements are arranged or organized differently. For example, two sets of numbers can have the same elements, but one set may be in ascending order while the other is in descending order.
