I've been asked to find bijection between {0,1,2}N, the set of infinite sequences of 0,1 and 2, and the open interval (0,1), and am told that it follows a similar logic to the proof creating a bijection between 10N={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} and the open interval (0,1).
I can find the bijection between 10N={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} and (0,1) by picking some a∈10N and showing that it converges to some number b∈(0,1). Noticing that it is possible for two sequences to converge to the same number b∈(0,1), such as 0.5 and 0.4ˉ9, we create A= "set of sequences with two representations" and B= "numbers with 2 representations". I can then show that these two sets have a bijection between them without much difficulty.
What I do not understand is how to transfer this framework once we no longer have the ability to create an infinite sequence corresponding to any number in (0,1) and I am struggling to find a function that allows me to do so. Any tips would be appreciated.
