Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.

(a) For each ordinal α\alpha and each cardinal m≠0\mathfrak{m} \neq 0 we have ℵα+1m=ℵαm⋅ℵα+1\aleph_{\alpha+1}^{\mathfrak{m}} = \aleph_\alpha^{\mathfrak{m}} \cdot \aleph_{\alpha+1} (reduce to the case where m<ℵα+1\mathfrak{m} < \aleph_{\alpha+1} and consider the mappings of the cardinal m\mathfrak{m} into the ordinal ωα+1\omega_{\alpha+1}).

(b) Deduce from (a) that, for each ordinal γ\gamma such that Card (γ)⩽m(\gamma) \leqslant \mathfrak{m}, we have ℵα+γm=ℵαm⋅ℵα+γCard(γ)\aleph_{\alpha+\gamma}^{\mathfrak{m}} = \aleph_\alpha^{\mathfrak{m}} \cdot \aleph_{\alpha+\gamma}^{\mathrm{Card}(\gamma)} (by transfinite induction on γ\gamma).

(c) Deduce from (b) that, for each ordinal α\alpha such that Card (α)⩽m(\alpha) \leqslant \mathfrak{m}, we have ℵαm=2m⋅ℵαCard (α)\aleph_\alpha^{\mathfrak{m}} = 2^{\mathfrak{m}} \cdot \aleph_\alpha^{\mathrm{Card}\,(\alpha)}.
