Algebra.Com's Answer #603931 by swincher4391(1107) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Well the entire set of numbers between 11-27 are {11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27}\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now an even number is any number that is divisible by 2. So the subset that is defined as the even numbers between 11-27 are {12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26}.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Following this same logic for 19-33:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "{20,22,24,26,28,30,32}\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The important thing is to know that the number of subsets of any set is 2^n where n is the number of elements.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the even numbers of 11-27 have cardinality 8, then it has 2^8 subsets or 256.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For 19-33, there are 7 elements, so it has 2^7 or 128 subsets. \n" ); document.write( " |
