Math Problem Statement

Given set A={2, 3, 14,21,28}.

  1. Write the power set of A, P(A).
  2. Draw an arrow diagram for the relation R defined on the set A such that R={(x,y), x<у}

Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

1. Power Set of AA (denoted as P(A)P(A))

The Power Set of a set AA is the set of all possible subsets of AA, including the empty set and AA itself.

Given A={2,3,14,21,28}A = \{ 2, 3, 14, 21, 28 \}, the power set P(A)P(A) is:

P(A)={,{2},{3},{14},{21},{28},{2,3},{2,14},{2,21},{2,28},{3,14},{3,21},{3,28},{14,21},{14,28},{21,28},{2,3,14},{2,3,21},{2,3,28},{2,14,21},{2,14,28},{2,21,28},{3,14,21},{3,14,28},{3,21,28},{14,21,28},{2,3,14,21},{2,3,14,28},{2,3,21,28},{2,14,21,28},{3,14,21,28},{2,3,14,21,28}}P(A) = \{ \emptyset, \{2\}, \{3\}, \{14\}, \{21\}, \{28\}, \{2, 3\}, \{2, 14\}, \{2, 21\}, \{2, 28\}, \{3, 14\}, \{3, 21\}, \{3, 28\}, \{14, 21\}, \{14, 28\}, \{21, 28\}, \{2, 3, 14\}, \{2, 3, 21\}, \{2, 3, 28\}, \{2, 14, 21\}, \{2, 14, 28\}, \{2, 21, 28\}, \{3, 14, 21\}, \{3, 14, 28\}, \{3, 21, 28\}, \{14, 21, 28\}, \{2, 3, 14, 21\}, \{2, 3, 14, 28\}, \{2, 3, 21, 28\}, \{2, 14, 21, 28\}, \{3, 14, 21, 28\}, \{2, 3, 14, 21, 28\} \}

2. Arrow Diagram for the Relation RR

The relation RR is defined on A={2,3,14,21,28}A = \{ 2, 3, 14, 21, 28 \} as:

R={(x,y)A×Ax<y}R = \{(x, y) \in A \times A \mid x < y\}

This means that we need to list pairs where xx is less than yy for elements in AA.

The set of ordered pairs in RR is:

R={(2,3),(2,14),(2,21),(2,28),(3,14),(3,21),(3,28),(14,21),(14,28),(21,28)}R = \{ (2, 3), (2, 14), (2, 21), (2, 28), (3, 14), (3, 21), (3, 28), (14, 21), (14, 28), (21, 28) \}

The arrow diagram visually shows these relations with arrows pointing from xx to yy for each pair where x<yx < y. I can help describe the diagram:

  1. Draw circles for each element in the set AA: 2, 3, 14, 21, 28.
  2. Draw arrows for each relation (x,y)(x, y), where the arrow points from xx to yy.

Let me know if you'd like a sketch of this arrow diagram.


Do you have any questions or want further details? Here are some related questions:

  1. How do you calculate the number of elements in a power set?
  2. What is the relationship between subsets and power sets?
  3. Can you define different types of relations on a set?
  4. What would the relation RR look like if xyx \leq y instead of x<yx < y?
  5. How does an arrow diagram differ from other representations of relations?

Tip: The number of elements in a power set is 2n2^n, where nn is the number of elements in the original set.
