Is this an injection from $\mathbb{R}_+$ to $(0,1)$? [closed]
I am wondering if $f: \mathbb{R}_+ \rightarrow (0,1)$ is an injection if $f$ just moves the decimal point to the left of each number an equal amount of times as how far the decimal point is from the ...

Does there exist a real-valued function such that for any proper subset of real numbers the function maps outsidr of the set?
Does there exist a bijective function $f$ from the real numbers to the real numbers such that for any non-empty proper subset of real numbers $R$ there exist $x$ in $R$ such that $f(x)$ is not an ...

Does $f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ mean that $f(x)$ is defined for all real inputs?
$f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ basically means that the domain of $f$ is the set of real numbers and the range of $f$ is the set of real numbers. However, does it mean that $f(x)$ is defined ...

Can construct a bijection between R - Q and ( (R - Q) ∩ [0,1] )?
I've tried to show that:
$$[0,1]\sim([0,1] ∩R-Q)$$
I know from this answer :
$$[0,1]\sim R-Q$$
But how to construct a bijection between R-Q and $([0,1]∩R-Q)$ ?
I think the function would be like $f:R-...

Is this a surjection from $(0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$?
I am trying to think of creative bijections from $(0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that can serve as a proof of the fact that the cardinality of the interval $(0,1)$ is equal to the cardinality of $\...

Does there exist an injection $f:\mathbb{R}\to P(\mathbb{N})$ that satisfies these conditions?
Does there exist an injection $f:\mathbb{R}\to P(\mathbb{N})$ from the reals into the power set of the naturals such that
for any $x\in\mathbb{R}$ the set $f(x)$ is infinite, and
for any distinct $x,...

Set of constant functions are uncountable.
Let $F=$ $\{$ $f: [0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ $:$ $f$ is constant$ \} $. I must show that $F$ is uncountable.
Note, that for any $f \in F$, and any $c\in \mathbb{R}$, I will denote the constant ...

Proving that a specific function $2^{\mathbb{N}}\to\mathbb{R}$ is injective.
Consider $\mathbb{R}$ as a set of Dedekind cuts. $A \subseteq \mathbb{Q}$ is a Dedekind cut if
$A \notin \{\varnothing,\mathbb{Q}\}$,
$(\forall q \in A)(\forall p \in \mathbb{Q})(p < q \...

Define powerset P(f) (P(real numbers)
I'd like some help for clarification, as I have no professional help to ask (and also wouldn't want to pay for it yet).
This is part of a German book on mathematical analysis, I don't want the ...

Finding functions that intersect at the minimum number of points
Let $f$ and $g$ be (non-constant) functions from $\mathbb{R}^d$ to $\mathbb{R}$.
For a point $x \in \mathbb{R}^d$, let us define the set $S_{f,x} = \{y \in \mathbb{R}^d : f(y) = f(x) \land y \neq x \}$...

Bijection from the irrationals to the reals
Since the irrationals and the reals have the same cardinality, there must be a bijection between them. Somewhere on this forum I found something like this:
Map all of the numbers of the form $q + ...

Domain of function $y$
In my physics book I saw the following math snippet:
Let
$$y(t)=\sin(t)\int_{-\epsilon}^{\epsilon}x(\tau)\cos(t-\tau)d\tau$$
be the output signal for input signal $x(t)$.
So, as a ...

Proving that a certain set of sequences is uncountable
Let $B:=\{(b_1, b_2, b_3, \ldots) : b_i =\pm i!$ for every $i \in \mathbb{N}\}$.
I WTS that $B$ is uncountable. I know there are several ways to do this. At this point I think that constructing a ...

Can we have a one-one function from [0,1] to the set of irrational numbers?
Since both of them are uncountable sets, we should be able to construct such a map. Am I correct?
If so, then what is the map?
