Does there exist a 1-1 and onto function that maps the integers to the rationales? Choose the best response below. Yes, but the function is not easily written in a "normal" way. Yes, and thus you can easily write it explicitly. No, because you can't write it explictly. No because the two set don't have the same cardinality.
