Answer:

a) 8

b) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We note that the first set contains three elements: a, b, and {a,b}.

The power set of {a, b, {a,b}} contains all possible elements of {a, b, {a,b}}.

For each element, we have 2 options: the element is either in the subset or the element is not in the subsets. The number of possible subsets is then equal to product the of the number of options for each element.

                                    P({a,b,{a,b}}) = 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 ^ 3 = 8

b) We note that the second set contains four elements: ?, a, {a} and {{a}}.

The power set of {?, a, {a}, {{a}}} contains all possible elements of {?, a, {a}, {{a}}}.

For each element, we have 2 options: the element is either in the subset or the element is not in the subsets. The number of possible subsets is then equal to product the of the number of options for each element.

                              P({?, a, {a}, {{a}}}) = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 ^ 4 = 16

miskamm [114]

Answer:

These quotients are different because of what division means.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide you start with a total and break it into equal groups. If you started with three and broke them into groups of 1/5, that is different then starting with 1/5 and breaking into three groups.

If you had 3 cups of Chex mix and made servings of 1/5 of a cup. How many servings could you get? This is 3 divided by 1/5.
