Cardinality of given set

63 Views Asked by At

Given,

$$A=\{B\subset \mathbb{N}: B \text{ is finite} \vee B^c \text{ is finite }\}$$

How can I prove that A is countable.

For me it seems it is uncountable.

$$A = \{B \subset \mathbb N | B \text{ finite}\} \cup \{B^C \subset \mathbb N | B \text{ is finite}\} = \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \{B \subset \mathbb N | |B| = n\} \cup \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \{B^C \subset \mathbb N | |B| = n \}$$ From this, the enumeration can be received by a diagonalisation.
