Math Problem Statement

There are 32 subsets of {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.

Solution

To determine the number of subsets of a set, you can use the formula:

Number of subsets=2n\text{Number of subsets} = 2^n

where nn is the number of elements in the set.

For the set {3,4,5,6,7}\{3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}, the number of elements is n=5n = 5.

Thus, the number of subsets is:

25=322^5 = 32

So, you're correct: there are 32 subsets of the set {3,4,5,6,7}\{3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}, which include both the empty set and the set itself.

Do you need more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How many proper subsets can be formed from {3,4,5,6,7}\{3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}?
  2. What is the difference between proper subsets and subsets?
  3. How many subsets does a set with 6 elements have?
  4. Can a set have infinite subsets if it contains an infinite number of elements?
  5. What is a power set and how does it relate to subsets?

Tip: The empty set is always considered a subset of any set, even if the set is empty.
