Cantor's Diagonal Argument
Understanding the diagonal argument
MCQ
Which statements about Cantor's diagonal argument are correct?
Possible answers
We assume, for contradiction, that an enumeration of
[
0
,
1
)
\left[0, 1\right)
[
0
,
1
)
exists, then construct a real number that does not appear in it
The digits
0
0
0
and
9
9
9
are avoided because of the equality
0.4999
…
=
0.5000
…
0.4999\ldots = 0.5000\ldots
0.4999
…
=
0.5000
…
The argument is refuted by adding the constructed real number to the list
The same scheme shows that there is no surjection from

onto

(

\mathcal{P}(E)
