I really don't get this. Can someone please help me?

Apply the proof of the Cantor-Schroder-Berstein theorem to this situatuion:
A={2,3,4,5,...}, B={1/2,1/3,1/4,...}, F:A-->B where F(x)=1/(x+6)and G:B-->A where G(x)=(1/x)+5. Note that 1/3 and 1/4 are in B-Rng(F). Let f be the string that begins at 1/3, and let g be the string that begins at 1/4.

a)Find f(1), f(2), f(3), f(4).
For this one, f(1)=1/3, then f(2)=1/(1/3)+5=8, then f(3)=1/(8+6)=1/14, and f(4)=1/(1/14)+5=19? Is that right? and then I do the same for g? g(1)=1/4, g(2)=9, g(3)=1/15, and g(4)=20?
b) Define H as in the proof of the Cantor-Schroder-Berstein theorem and find H(2), H(8), H(13), and H(20).
I have no clue how to do this one at all. Can you help me please?


Thanks for the help!

There are many ways to prove this theorem. You have to tell us what H is, and what YOUR proof looks like, before we can apply it.
