Math Problem Statement
List all subsets or determine the number of subsets as requested.
Determine the number of subsets of {1, 2, 3, ..., 6}
Solution
To determine the number of subsets of a set, you can use the formula:
Where is the number of elements in the set.
For the set , there are 6 elements. So, the number of subsets is:
Thus, the set has 64 subsets.
Would you like to see how to list these subsets or any further details?
Here are 5 related questions to expand on this topic:
- How many subsets contain exactly 3 elements from the set ?
- What is the number of proper subsets of ?
- How does the number of subsets change if the set has 7 elements instead of 6?
- What is the formula for determining the number of subsets of a set with elements?
- How can you calculate the number of subsets that include a specific element of the set?
Tip: The number of subsets always includes the empty set and the set itself.
