What are the subsets of A = {3}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: ∅ and {3}
A = {3} is a singleton set because it has exactly one distinct element. A set with n elements has 2ⁿ subsets, so this set has 2¹ = 2 subsets. They are the empty set, ∅, and the set itself, {3}. Writing 3 twice does not create a new element because sets do not count repetition.
