Find cardinality of $X = left{ A : A subset mathbb R wedge text{c}(A) right} $
$begingroup$
I have some doubts with this task:
Find cardinality of a) $X = left{ A : A subset mathbb R wedge text{c}(A) right} $
b) $X = left{ A : A subset mathbb Q wedge text{c}(A) right} $
where $text{c}(A)$ means that set contains maximum and minimum element
I think that the result is $ mathfrak{c} $, so I have decided to show two injectives:
$$f:mathbb R rightarrow X $$
and
$$g:X rightarrow mathbb R $$
If it comes to $f$ it may be $$ f = lambda x.left{x right} $$ and that set contains maximum and minimum element so I think that it is good example (both in a) and b) ).
But I am trying to show example of function $g$ and I have stuck there. One idea was to take $$ g = lambda A. frac{1}{2}(min+max) $$ but it is not injective :(
thanks for your time

For (a) let $H:mathbb Rto(0,1)$ be bijective.
Then define $f:2^{mathbb R}→ X$: $f(A)=H[A]∪{0,1}$, because $H$ is bijective $f$ is injective so $2^{frak{c}}≤|X|$, and $X⊆ 2^{Bbb R}$ so $|X|≤2^frak c$.
For (b) let $H:mathbb Qto mathbb Qcap (0,1)$ be bijective.
Then define $f:2^{mathbb Q}→ X$: $f(A)=H[A]∪{0,1}$, because $H$ is bijective $f$ is injective so ${frak c}≤|X|$, and $X⊆ 2^{Bbb Q}$ so $|X|≤frak c$.

For a), here's an injective map $mathfrak P(Bbb R)to X$:
$$ Smapsto {,tfrac x{1+|x|}mid xin S}cup {-2,2}$$
showing that $|X|ge 2^{mathfrak c}$ (and of course this means equality).

Let $J= (-pi/2,pi/2)}$ and let $Y$ be the set of all subsets of $J.$
Now $|J|=|Bbb R|=c.$ E.g. $f(x)=tan x$ is a bijection from $J$ to $Bbb R.$ So $|Y|={t:tsubset Bbb R}|=2^c>c.$
For $sin Y$ let $G(s)=scup{-pi/2,pi/2}.$ Since $G$ is one-to-one and since ${G(s):sin Y}subset X,$ we have $$2^c=|Y|=|{G(s):sin Y}|le |X|le 2^c.$$ So $|X|=2^c.$
