Homework Statement


P(P(∅))


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I did the inner power set first: {{∅}, ∅}
Then I took the power set of that: {{{∅}}, {∅}, {{∅}, ∅}, ∅}
But according to the answer, there is only two elements.

That first power set doesn't look quite right to me.

is {∅} an element of ∅??

What are all the elements of ∅?

What are all the subsets of ∅?
