In a subset each element of the original may or may not appear - a choice of 2 for each element; thus for 3 elements there are 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8 possible subsets.
You have three choices at a time without repeats. To do this multiply 10x9x8=720. This will give you duplicates, so divide the result by 1x2x3.
There are 6 such subsets of B.
16 Recall that every set is a subset of itself, and the empty set is a subset of every set, so let {1, 2, 3, 4} be the original set. Its subsets are: {} {1} {2} {3} {4} {1, 2} {1, 3} {1, 4} {2, 3} {2, 4} {3, 4} {1, 2, 3} {1, 2, 4} {1, 3, 4} {2, 3, 4} {1, 2, 3, 4} * * * * * A simpler rationale: For any subset, each of the elements can either be in it or not. So, two choices per element. Therefore with 4 elements you have 2*2*2*2 or 24 choices and so 24 subsets.
If you have a set with "n" elements, you can form 2 to the power n subsets. This is because each element of the original set has two options: to be included, or not to be included, in a subset. So, for instance, for a set with four elements, you have 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 different possibilities to create subsets (2 to the power 4).Note 1: This includes the empty set, and the original set itself. Note 2: The set of all subsets is known as the power set. Note 3: It has been proven that the power set (of size 2 to the power n) is ALWAYS larger than the original set (of size n) - even for infinite sets. That means that the power set of an infinite set gives you a larger kind of infinity.
For example, if we have a set of numbers called A which has 3 members(in our case numbers): A={2,5,6} this set has 8 subsets (2^3) which are as follow: the empty set: ∅ {2},{5},{6} {2,5},{2,6},{5,6} {2,5,6}
thenumber of subsets = 8formula: number of subsets =2n; wheren is thenumber of elements in the set= 2n= 23= 8The subsets of 1,2,3 are:{ }, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {2,3}, {1,3}, {1,2,3}
(5 x 4 x 3)/(3 x 2) = 10
The subsets of a fraction refer to the individual components that make up the fraction. For example, the subsets of the fraction 3/4 would be the numerator (3) and the denominator (4). In set theory, a subset is a set that contains elements of another set, so in the context of fractions, the subsets are the parts that form the fraction.
A set of four elements has 24 subsets, since for every element there are two options: it may, or may not, be in a subset. This set of subsets includes the empty set and the original set, and everything in between.
5 subsets of 4 and of 1, 10 subsets of 3 and of 2 adds up to 30.
Well honey, the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} has 9 elements, so it will have 2^9 subsets, including the empty set and the set itself. That's a grand total of 512 subsets. Math can be sassy too, you know!
Well, honey, the number of subsets in a set with 9 elements is given by 2 to the power of 9, which equals 512. So, there are 512 subsets in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. Don't worry, I double-checked it just for you.

If your 7 element set is {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}, you would list a 3 element subset by taking any 3 elements of the set eg., {a, d, g} or {b, c, f}, etc. To count all of the subsets, the formula is 7C3, where 7C3 is 7!/(3!*4!), or 35 different unique 3 element subsets of a 7 element set.
No. of subsets = 2n - 1 3 = 2n - 1 3 + 1 = 2n - 1 + 1 4 = 2n 4/2 = 2n/2 2/1 = 1n/1 2 = n n = 2elements
