Transcribed Image Text:## Problem Statement
**4.** Let \( P = \{ X \in \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{Z}^+) \mid X \text{ is finite} \} \). Prove that \( P \) is denumerable.
### Explanation
Here, \( \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{Z}^+) \) denotes the power set of the positive integers \( \mathbb{Z}^+ \), that is, the set of all subsets of \( \mathbb{Z}^+ \). The set \( P \) consists of all finite subsets of \( \mathbb{Z}^+ \).
### Objective
The task is to prove that the set \( P \), which contains all finite subsets of \( \mathbb{Z}^+ \), is denumerable. This means showing that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of \( P \) and the set of positive integers, i.e., \( P \) can be listed in a sequence indexed by positive integers.
