Radicals and Rational Exponents · Exercise 3

Investigation: There are 32 student-learning outcomes (SLO’s) in a typical College Algebra course. These are topics a student needs to master to show proficiency in College Algebra. Let’s begin by looking at just a few of these skills. Let’s assign the variables, A, B, C, and D to the following topics. We will name the set containing each of these 4 topics, Q.

Using roster notation Q = {A, B, C, D}.

What formula could you use to help you determine the number of possible subsets? Remember that each topic could be mastered or not by a student. Show below that your formula would be equal to 16 for a list of 4 topics.

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
