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]
