Math Problem Statement

what is the possible subsets of {0,1,2}

Solution

To determine the possible subsets of the set {0,1,2}\{0, 1, 2\}, we can follow the rule that the number of subsets of a set with nn elements is given by 2n2^n.

In this case, the set {0,1,2}\{0, 1, 2\} has 3 elements, so the number of possible subsets is: 23=82^3 = 8

Here are the 8 possible subsets of {0,1,2}\{0, 1, 2\}:

  1. \emptyset (the empty set)
  2. {0}\{0\}
  3. {1}\{1\}
  4. {2}\{2\}
  5. {0,1}\{0, 1\}
  6. {0,2}\{0, 2\}
  7. {1,2}\{1, 2\}
  8. {0,1,2}\{0, 1, 2\}

These are all the subsets, including the empty set and the set itself.

Would you like more details or clarification on how subsets work?

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. How many subsets does a set with 5 elements have?
  2. What is the difference between a subset and a proper subset?
  3. How do you determine the number of proper subsets of a set?
  4. What is a power set, and how is it related to subsets?
  5. Can subsets contain repeated elements?

Tip: The empty set \emptyset is always a subset of any set, no matter its size.
