The cardinality of the union of sets.

127 Views Asked by At

The finite union of finite sets is finite. The countable union of countable sets is countable. More generally, is true that if $I$ is an index set of cardinality $\mathfrak{c}$, and $I$ and $X_i$ have same cardinality for every $i$, then the set: $$X=\bigcup_{i \in I}X_i. $$ Has cardinality $\mathfrak{c}$?
