Say you have the set {1, 2, 3}. A subset of that given set will be any set that has either 1, 2, or 3 as elements and nothing else. So the set {1,2} is a subset of the set {1,2,3}


1.)List all of the subsets of A that have exactly one element.

List of subsets that have exactly one element: {a}, {b}, {c}

----------------------------------------------------------------------

2.)List all of the subsets of A that have exactly two elements.

List of subsets that have exactly two elements: {a,b}, {a,c}, {b,c}

I don't understand this problem.
Given That A= {a,b,c}
1.)List all of the subsets of A that have exactly one element.

{a} is a subset of {a,b,c} and it has has exactly one element.
(b) is a subset of {a,b,c} and it has has exactly one element.
(c) is a subset of {a,b,c} and it has has exactly one element.


2.)List all of the subsets of A that have exactly two elements.


{a,b} is a subset of {a,b,c} and it has has exactly two elements.
(a,c) is a subset of {a,b,c} and it has has exactly two elements.
(b,c) is a subset of {a,b,c} and it has has exactly two elements.

which reads: The set A sub 1 which is equal to the set with the single element a is a subset of the set A.

and



which reads: The cardinality of (meaning the number of elements in) the set A sub 1 is 1

So what other sets are subsets of A and have a cardinality of 1?



which reads: The set A sub alpha which is equal to the set with the elements a and b is a subset of the set A.

and



which reads: The cardinality of the set A sub alpha is 2

So what other sets are subsets of A and have a cardinality of 2?
