find the power set of the following sets: B{1, 2, 3}. C{p, q, r, s}
Answers
1) The subsets of B are ϕ, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 3} The power set of B
P(B) = {Ø, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 3}}
2) Set :- A collection of well defined objects. A set may have infinite or finite objects .Every object is called element of the set.
Subset :- It is the set of few or all elements of a set.
Power set :- It is the set of all subsets of the set including itself and the empty set.
=======================================
Power set is the set of all possible sets.
D = { p, q, r, s }
P ( D) = { p, q, r, s, ( p, q) , ( q, r) , ( r, s) , ( s, p) , ( p , r) , ( q, s) , ( p, q, r) , ( q, r, s) , ( p, r, s) , ( p, q, s) , ( p, q, r, s), Ø }
The number of elements in set n ( D) = 4
Number of elements in power set n(P ( D) ) =
Therefore, Number of elements in power set = 2^4 = 16 .
