Scalar multiplying a set??
Let A and B be two finite non-empty sets such that A [itex]\subset[/itex] B and n({C : C [itex]\subset[/itex] B\A}) = 128. Then what is the value of n(B) - n(A)?
I actually got to 7 by assuming that n was multiplying the cardinality of C, but I am not sure if that is what happens. What does it mean to have a scalar multiplying a set? Or is n not a scalar in this case?
