Exercise · ZW-HASSE-DIAGRAM-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
In the Hasse diagram of the divisors of \(30\), how many elements directly cover \(1\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. 3
Explanation
The primes \(2,3,5\) cover \(1\), since nothing lies strictly between \(1\) and them.
Review the concept: Hasse diagram
A Hasse diagram draws a partially ordered set \((S,\preceq)\) with one point per element and an edge only between consecutive elements, placing the smaller one lower.
\[a\ \text{covers}\ b\iff b\prec a\ \wedge\ \nexists\,c:\ b\prec c\prec a\]
