Power set theory question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-01-27] [Hit: ]
{S}, {{S}}, {S,{S}}} is the power set of x.......
is the power set
P(x) of x={S,{S}}
P(x)={ø, {S}, {{S}}, {S,{S}}}?

-
Yes.

The power set is the set of all subsets of the original set.

The set x has 2 elements, so the power set should have 2^2 = 4 elements.

{S,{S}} is the set x and is a subset of itself (and thus should be in P(x))

{S} and { {S} } are both subsets of x

The null set is the subset of any set.

Those are the 4 subsets of x to include in P(x) and so

Answer: P(x)={ø, {S}, {{S}}, {S,{S}}} is the power set of x.
