Question: Prove if Card(A)<Card(B), then Card(P(A))<Card(P(B)) such that P is the power set and Card is the cardinality. 

Attempt: If A is infinite, we can't simply state Card(P(A))=2^Card(A) and Card(P(B))=2^Card(B). 

I assume we should show if f:A->B is an injection then g:P(A)->P(B).

If f:A->B is an injection since A is a subset of A and B is a subset of B, all X that is a subset of A form an injection with all Y which is a subset of B. Hence g:P(A)->P(B) is an injection.

Am I correct?
