What is the cardinality of the following set?
$begingroup$
What is the cardinality of the following set: ${f: mathbb{R} rightarrow {a+bsqrt[3]4 | a,b in mathbb{Q}}}$?
Let $S = {f: mathbb{R} rightarrow {a+bsqrt[3]4 | a,b in mathbb{Q}}}$.
I already show that ${f:mathbb{R}rightarrow{0,1}} subset S$, then $|S| ge |{f:mathbb{R}rightarrow{0,1}}| = 2^c$, and I need to show the rest of the part i.e.: $|S| le 2^c$, then to conclude that the cardinality of the set $S$ is $2^c$. (please correct me if this part is wrong)
But I get stuck, I don't know how to show that $|S| le 2^c$. Can you please help me out? Thanks in advance!

You're looking at the set of functins from $mathbb{R}$ which has size $2^{aleph_0}= mathfrak{c}$ to a countable set (as $|mathbb{Q}^2| = aleph_0$) which by definition has size $(aleph_0)^{2^{aleph_0}} = 2^{mathfrak{c}}$ by standard cardinal arithmetic : $$ 2^mathfrak{c} le aleph_0^{mathfrak{c}} le (2^mathfrak{c})^mathfrak{c} = 2^mathfrak{c}$$
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Can you find an one to one function map to show that the cardinality of the set S is less than or equal to $2^c$. Since we haven't learned cardinal arithmetic yet...

You'll need axiom of choice for that, in order to use a bijection between $mathfrak c times mathfrak c$ and $mathfrak c$.
