Doubt in countability of a subset of real number

Let $S=\{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x>1, \frac{1-x^4}{1-x^3}>22\}$ then $S $ isEmptyCountably finiteCountably infiniteUncountable.My approach is:$\frac{1-x^4}{1-x^3}>22, x>1$$\implies...

Can difference quotient sets be nowhere dense?

Let $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function and consider the difference quotient set $$D_f = \left\{\frac{f(y) - f(x)}{y-x} : (x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2, y > x\right\}$$Can $D_f$ be nowhere dense in...

Bernoulli shift on $S^\mathbb{Z}$

Why is the Bernoulli shift ergodic? I know the proof for $S^\mathbb{N}$. The best would be if you could argue from this fact to the integer case, so that way I can see how one usually goes from...

Does $\sum_{k\geq0}\frac{z^k}{k!^s}$ only have negative real roots?

It might be complicated to decide whether or not a given entire function has only real zeros. So, I'll focus on special examples. It is known that the following function given by the infinite...
