Radicals and Rational Exponents · Exercise 1

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}.

List each of the possible subsets of the 4 topics listed above using roster notation. Remember a subset is a collection of topics in which each topic listed is an element of the set Q we defined above. By including a topic, we are indicating that the student has mastered the topic.

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