In mathematics, the axiom of power set is one of the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms of axiomatic set theory. In the formal language of the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms, the axiom reads: where y is the Power set of x, . In English, this says: Given any set x, there is a set such that, given any set z, this set z is a member of if and only if every element of z is also an element of x. More succinctly: for every set , there is a set consisting precisely of the subsets of . Note the subset relation is not used in the formal definition as subset is not a primitive relation in formal set theory; rather, subset is defined in terms of set membership, . By the axiom of extensionality, the set is unique. The axiom of power set appears in most axiomatizations of set theory. It is generally considered uncontroversial, although constructive set theory prefers a weaker version to resolve concerns about predicativity. (Wikipedia).
What is a Power Set? | Set Theory, Subsets, Cardinality
What is a power set? A power set of any set A is the set containing all subsets of the given set A. For example, if we have the set A = {1, 2, 3}. Then the power set of A, denoted P(A), is {{ }, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}} where { } is the empty set. We also know that

We find the power set of the set {m, a, t, h}, going over strategies and the general method to use for finding power sets. #SetTheory Recall the power set of a set S, P(S), is the set of all subsets of S. Thus, the cardinality of the power set of S is the number of subsets of S, which is

How do we find the power set of a set? That's what we'll go over in today's set theory video lesson with 4 examples! Remember the power set of a set S is the set P(S) consisting of all subsets of S. Don't forget to include the empty set and the set S itself! Also recall that the cardinali

Proof: Number of Subsets using Induction | Set Theory
We prove that a set A with n elements has 2^n subsets. Thus, we're also proving that the cardinality of a power set is 2 to the power of the cardinality of the set we're taking the power set of. If |A|=n then |P(A)|=2^n. We prove this using mathematical induction. Give it a try yourself -
