Answer:

The expression for determining the number of distinct subsets for a set with n distinct elements is 2^n (2 raise to the power n).

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for determining the number of distinct subsets for a set with n distinct elements is 2^n (2 raise to the power n).

If a set has 0 elements then it has 1 subset which is a null set (2^0=1)

if a set has 1 element then it has 2 subsets. One is a null set and the other one would be itself (2^1 = 1).

Like wise if a set has 5 elements then it has 32 subsets (2^5 = 32)

Lets solve an example. We have a set A and we have to find the subsets of set A.

A = {1,2,}

2^n = 2^2 = 4

It means that the number of  all the possible subsets = 4

{0},{1},{2},{1,2}....

In this exercise we have to have knowledge of sets and subsets to find the value of the unknown, like this:

[tex]2^n = 2^2=4[/tex]

So we have to remember some ideas about sets like:

  • The expression for determining the number of distinct subsets for a set with n distinct elements is 2^n (2 raise to the power n). for exemple:

[tex]2^0=1\\2^1 = 1\\2^5 = 32[/tex]

We have a set A and we have to find the subsets of set A, so that is :

[tex]A = {1,2,}\\2^n = 2^2 = 4\\A= {0},{1},{2},{1,2}....[/tex]
