- The number of 5-element subsets from a set containing n elements is equal to the number of 6-element subsets from the same set. What is the value of n? (Hint: the order in which the elements for the subsets are chosen is not important.)arrow_forwardHow many subsets of the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} have cardinality 3 or less?arrow_forwardIn a regular deck of playing cards there are 26 red cards and 12 face cards. Explain, using sets and what you have learned about cardinalities, why there are only 32 cards which are either red or a face card.arrow_forward
- define a set of which both {1,3,4} and {0,3,5} are subsets find such a set with the smallest possible number of elements?arrow_forwardSuppose S is a set with cardinality n. What is the cardinality of the power set of S ? Are there any elements of the power set of S that you can name without even knowing what the elements of S are?arrow_forwardShow that {1, 2, 3}N, the set of all functions from the natural numbers to the set {1, 2, 3}, is uncountable. Assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, show that {1, 2, 3}N has the same cardinality as R, the real numbers.arrow_forward
