Write the power set of:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[[ (\phi),\phi ]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^0 = 1 So phi.....is the only Powerset.....am i right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@helder_edwin

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u mean the power set of \[ \large \{\{\emptyset\},\emptyset\} \] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@helder_edwin

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

so it has two elements, then the power set gotta have 2^2=4 elemments

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But Phi is a null set...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We dont count phi as an element ryt?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

if \[ \large A=\{\{\emptyset\},\emptyset\} \] then \[ \large P(A)=\{\emptyset,\{\emptyset\},\{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\{\emptyset\},\emptyset\}\} \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

yes we do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is subset = powerset ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

WHATEVER is inside the first pair of braces is an element of the set.

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

no. subset is a relation between two sets. the power set of a set is a set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r they equal ? @helder_edwin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What if the question is write the subset of the following question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@helder_edwin

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

sorry. my internet connection isn't very good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh..no...

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

as i posted, they r different concepts

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

what was the other question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write the subset of {∅,{∅}} ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt that be same as Powerset

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But with out Braces at right and left

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

a subset of that set would be \[ \large \{\emptyset\} \] for instance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So subset is not equal to Powerset...

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

NO.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok....Thxxx...Buddy...:)

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

If A is a set, then its power set, P(A), is the set of all subsets of A.

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u r welcome
