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 ?
