Without writing them all out, what is the number of subsets of set A ={king, queen, knight, prince, princess, duke, earl}? please show work!

U can either include or not each element so 2 choices each time 2*2*2*2*2*2*2 = 2^7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subset of 7: 1 Subset of 6: 7 Subset of 5: 7*6*5*4*3/5!=21 Subset of 4: 7*6*5*4/4!=35 Subset of 3: 7*6*5/3!=35 Subset of 2: 7*6/2!=21 Subset of 1: 7 So it is 127 if you count the subset with all elements.
