For any set , denote by the set of all subsets of (including the empty set and itself). This is called the power set of .

If are elements of , define




FACT: together with these two operations forms a commutative ring with a multiplicative identity.

For the rest of this exercise, take to be the set .

(a) How many elements are there in ?


Now let be two subsets of defined as follows:


Enter the elements of each set below as a comma-separated list. Input N for the empty set.

(b) What is the additive inverse of the subset ?


(c) What is ?


(d) What is ?
