For each of the following sets, determine if it is finite, countably infinite, or uncountable. You need not prove your answer is correct, but you should give a reason for your response.
- For some $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $\{(a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n)\in\mathbb{N}^n\ | \ a_1+a_2+\dots+a_n<5000\}$
- $\{S\in\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N})\ | \ \mathbb{N}\backslash S\hbox{ is finite}\}$
- $\{x\in \mathbb{R}\ | \ \hbox{there is a decimal expansion of $x$ with only even digits}\}$
For #1, I said that it is finite. Since every $a_i \in \mathbb{N}$, every $a_i \leq 5000$. Combinations of a finite set of numbers must also be finite.
For #2, I said that it is countably infinite. To make $\mathbb{N}\backslash S$ finite, $S$ would have to be an infinite subset of $\mathbb{N}$, of which are infinite. Therefore the initial set is infinite. Since $\mathbb{N}$ is countably infinite, we can reason that the initial set is also countably infinite.
For #3, I said that it is uncountable. An argument can be made with Cantor's diagonalization method to show that a list of real numbers with decimal expansions with only even digits can never be complete and the set is therefore uncountable.
Do my arguments make sense/ are my conclusions correct?
