Is there a formula for finding it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-6-color\"><strong>The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set {1,2,4,8,16,\u2026,1024}\\{1, 2, 4, 8, 16, \\dots, 1024\\} consists of powers of 2. The first element is 20=12^0 = 1, the second is 21=22^1 = 2, the third is 22=42^2 = 4, and so on. The last element in this sequence is 210=10242^{10} = 1024. This indicates that the set contains all the powers of 2 from 202^0 to 2102^{10}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cardinal Number:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>cardinal number<\/strong> of a set is the number of elements it contains. To find the cardinal number of this set, we need to determine how many terms are included from 202^0 to 2102^{10}. These terms form an arithmetic progression where the first term is 202^0, and the common ratio is 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 11 terms in total: 20,21,22,\u2026,2102^0, 2^1, 2^2, \\dots, 2^{10}. Therefore, the cardinal number of the set is <strong>11<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Formula for Finding Cardinality:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, for a sequence of powers of a number bb, from b0b^0 to bnb^n, the number of terms (cardinal number) can be found by the formula: Cardinality=n+1\\text{Cardinality} = n + 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>where nn is the exponent of the highest power in the sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our case, the sequence is 20,21,22,\u2026,2102^0, 2^1, 2^2, \\dots, 2^{10}, so the highest exponent is 10. Using the formula: Cardinality=10+1=11\\text{Cardinality} = 10 + 1 = 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the cardinal number of the set {1,2,4,8,16,\u2026,1024}\\{1, 2, 4, 8, 16, \\dots, 1024\\} is 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This set consists of numbers that are successive powers of 2. The first element is 11, which is 202^0, and the last element is 10241024, which is 2102^{10}. The sequence includes all integers from 202^0 to 2102^{10}, and since these are powers of 2, they are distinct. Therefore, the total number of elements is equal to the number of terms in the sequence, which is 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the cardinal number of {1,2,4,8,16,\u2026,1024} and how do you find the number?
