A Power Set is a set of all the subsets of a set.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

Give detailed Conception of : subsets of a set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example: in the {a,b,c} example above, there are three members (a,b and c of course). So, the Power Set should have 23 = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mm detail

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we have a set {a,b,c}: Then a subset of it could be {a} or {b}, or {a,c}, and so on, And {a,b,c} is also a subset of {a,b,c} (yes, that's true, but its not a "proper subset") And the empty set {} is also a subset of {a,b,c}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In fact, if you list all the subsets of S={a,b,c} you will have the Power Set of {a,b,c}: P(S) = { {}, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {b, c}, {a, b, c} } Think of it as all the different ways you can select the items (the order of the items doesn't matter), including selecting none, or all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How Many Subsets Easy! If the original set has n members, then the Power Set will have 2n members

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*2^n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

voila

OpenStudy (goformit100):

Thanks @nader1

OpenStudy (goformit100):

n represents ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*voila means ?? @nader1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i give you an example to understand of n Example: in the {a,b,c} example above, there are three members (a,b and c of course). So, the Power Set should have 23 = 8, which it doe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n is the number of objects in a set.. C = {2, 3, 4} Here, n = 3.. as there are three members ie 2, 3 and 4 in that set..

OpenStudy (goformit100):

I got it thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

voila it is word a french here that come

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did not get you, what is the meaning of it?? Here we go??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like you give a final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have read it somewhere in novel I think, but forget its meaning, Yeah Okay I get it..
