What are the subsets of the set 7, 8, 9?

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

{7,8,9} this set?? @Master_Chief_117

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes @jango_IN_DTOWN

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

YOu know what is meant by power set?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Honestly, no.

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

Let X be a given set. Then the power set of X generally denoted by P(X) is the number of subsets of it. For a finite set X containing n elements , the number of subsets is 2^n

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

The given set has 3 elements .. So it has 2^3=8 subsets

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

Now let us figure out the required subsets

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

the subsets are {7},{8},{9},{7,8},{7,9},{8,9},{7,8,9} and the null set.

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

see we got 8 sets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah cool. Thanks alot for the help so far.

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@Master_Chief_117 are you any closer to understanding how to do this - all you have above is a list of subsets....???
