Question #94019

7.The family of all the subsets of any set S is called
a.the power set of S
b.the null set of S
c.the identity set of S
d.the cardinality set of S

8.Let E = {2, 4, 6, ...}. What is the compliment of the set E?
a.odd numbers
b.prime numbers
c.even numbers
d.rational numbers

Expert's answer

The family of subsets of any set SS is called the power set of SS, so the answer to question 7 is a).

Assuming that the universe is the set of natural numbers N=1,2,3,...\mathbb{N} = {1, 2, 3, ...} , by definition, the complement of E is Ec=NE=1,3,5,...E^c = \mathbb{N} \setminus E = 1, 3, 5, ... - the set of odd numbers, so the answer to question 8 is a).
