given any set of n objects, there are 2^n subsets. This comes from the fact that each item is either in or not in any given subset. So for all n objects, each one has two possibilities, either it is or is not in a subset. Then 2^n come from the multiplication principle.
No, 2 points define a line, 3 points define a plane.
{1,2,4.7} is a proper subset of {1, 2, 3, 4, 4.7, 5}
I presume you meant 2^n (2 raised to the nth power), not 2*n (2 times n). That's answers.com's character set problem again (I trust, giving you the benefit of the doubt). The answer is that for each of the n elements, it is either in any particular subset or it isn't. Which elements are in and which are not in a subset defines the subset. So for example, if n is 3, say a, b, and c, there are 2 sub-collections of the set of all subsets: those containing a and those not containing a. In each of those sub-collections, there are 2 sub-collections based on whether they contain b, for a total of 4 (2*2) sub-collections. Finally, of each of these 4, there are 2 subsets: those containing c and those not containing c, for a total of 8 (2*2*2 or 2^3) subsets. Got it?
The trivial subsets of a set are those subsets which can be found without knowing the contents of the set. The empty set has one trivial subset: the empty set. Every nonempty set S has two distinct trivial subsets: S and the empty set. Explanation: This is due to the following two facts which follow from the definition of subset: Fact 1: Every set is a subset of itself. Fact 2: The empty set is subset of every set. The definition of subset says that if every element of A is also a member of B then A is a subset of B. If A is the empty set then every element of A (all 0 of them) are members of B trivially. If A = B then A is a subset of B because each element of A is a member of A trivially.

Yes it does, because of its 2 ends
The empty set is a subset.
A set "A" is said to be a subset of "B" if all elements of set "A" are also elements of set "B".Set "A" is said to be a proper subset of set "B" if: * A is a subset of B, and * A is not identical to B In other words, set "B" would have at least one element that is not an element of set "A". Examples: {1, 2} is a subset of {1, 2}. It is not a proper subset. {1, 3} is a subset of {1, 2, 3}. It is also a proper subset.
They are a subset of all integers. Each even number is divisible evenly by 2. There are countably infinite such numbers.
A set is a subset of a another set if all its members are contained within the second set. A set that contains all the member of another set is still a subset of that second set.A set is a proper subset of another subset if all its members are contained within the second set and there exists at least one other member of the second set that is not in the subset.Example:For the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}:the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is a subset set of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}the set {1, 2, 3} is a subset of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, but further it is a proper subset of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
An improper subset is identical to the set of which it is a subset. For example: Set A: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Set B: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Set B is an improper subset of Set Aand vice versa.

{1,2,4.7} is a proper subset of {1, 2, 3, 4, 4.7, 5}
