Let A and B be two countable sets (i.e., there exist bijections f: A → N and g: B → N where N is the set of natural numbers. Prove that AxB is also countable by constructing a bijection from AxB to N.

Is the set Q of all rational numbers (numbers that are the ratio of an integer over a natural number) a countable set? If so, prove it by construction (by constructing a bijection between Q and the set N of natural numbers). If not, prove it by contradiction (by assuming the contrary that Q is countable and getting a contradiction).
