To solve the problem, we need to find the number of subsets of the set \( A = \{a, b, c, d\} \).
1. Understanding the Formula for Subsets:
If a set has \( n \) elements, then the total number of subsets is given by:
\( \text{Number of subsets} = 2^n \)
2. Count the Elements in the Set:
The set \( A = \{a, b, c, d\} \) has 4 elements. So, \( n = 4 \).
3. Apply the Formula:
Substitute \( n = 4 \) into the formula:
\( \text{Number of subsets} = 2^4 = 16 \)
Final Answer:
The number of subsets of set \( A \) is \( 16 \).
Consider the following subsets of the Euclidean space \( \mathbb{R}^4 \):
\( S = \{ (x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4) \in \mathbb{R}^4 : x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 - x_4^2 = 0 \} \),
\( T = \{ (x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4) \in \mathbb{R}^4 : x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 - x_4^2 = 1 \} \),
\( U = \{ (x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4) \in \mathbb{R}^4 : x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 - x_4^2 = -1 \} \).
Then, which one of the following is TRUE?
Let the functions \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) and \( g: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R} \) be given by \[ f(x_1, x_2) = x_1^2 + x_2^2 - 2x_1x_2, \quad g(x_1, x_2) = 2x_1^2 + 2x_2^2 - x_1x_2. \] Consider the following statements:
S1: For every compact subset \( K \) of \( \mathbb{R} \), \( f^{-1}(K) \) is compact.
S2: For every compact subset \( K \) of \( \mathbb{R} \), \( g^{-1}(K) \) is compact. Then, which one of the following is correct?
