Exercise · ZW-POWER-SET-004 · ★☆☆ Basic
If \(X \in \mathcal{P}(A)\), what holds?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(X \subseteq A\)
Explanation
By definition, the elements of \(\mathcal{P}(A)\) are exactly the sets \(X\) with \(X \subseteq A\).
Review the concept: Power set
The set of all subsets of a set \(A\), denoted \(\mathcal{P}(A)\).
\[\mathcal{P}(A) = \{X : X \subseteq A\}\]
