Find the subsets of the set with zero elements and one element.
∅, { 1}
A subset of a set is also a set. The requirement is that all elements in the subset are also elements of the set. We can list all the subsets starting with the ones having 0 elements, followed by 1 element.
The only subset of any set with zero elements is the empty set. We write this using the empty set notation.
The original set has one element, so we can only form one subset having one element: the original set itself. { 1}
We have a total of 2 subsets. ∅, { 1}
