CARDINALITY AND SET THEORY QUESTION: Prove that there is a bijection between A x B x C and (A x B) x C
Solution
There is a natural bijection from AxBxC to (AxB)xC
f((a,b,c))=((a,b),c)
Let,
Let, ((x,y),z) be in (AxB)xC
So, f((x,y,z))=((x,y),z)
Hence, f is surjective
Let, f((a,b,c))=f((e,f,g))
((a,b),c)=((e,f),g)
Hence,
a=e
b=f
c=g
Hence, f is injective and hence a bijection.
