Question 10533: In algebra, what do they mean by subset?
Answer by fractalier(6550)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A subset of another set is a version of a set containing less elements than the original set, though technically speaking every set has as one of its subsets itself.
For example, let a set be the numbers {1, 2, 3}.
Subsets would be {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}, and {}, the empty set (always a subset of every set)...
