that's the question . it doesn't say

hmmm... can't help you but maybe Igrim will I'll still around to see their response

anonymous · Answer

that doesn't affect the number of subsets. if you have three different objects, how many combinations of objects can you create? no objects is one option (that is the empty set), one object is another choice...does that help?

anonymous · Answer

no , cause the answer is either 3, 6, or 8 /:

anonymous · Answer

$$2^n$$ where $n$ is the number of elements in the set

anonymous · Answer

i wasn't giving you the answer, think about what i said, each set cooresponds to a choice of the three objects if I have a cell phone, a box, and a table, i could take none of them (that's one set), i could take a table (that's another set), etc

anonymous · Answer

so a set of 3 elements will have $2^2=8$ subsets

anonymous · Answer

satellite, you really shouldn't give answers but they're correct.
