### Question 1

Suppose that \( A \) is a set containing 10 elements. Find the number of different subsets of \( A \).

____ subsets

---

This question requires you to determine the number of subsets that can be formed from a set containing 10 elements. 

In general, if a set contains \( n \) elements, the number of different subsets of that set is given by \( 2^n \). 

So, for a set \( A \) with 10 elements, the number of subsets can be calculated as:
\[ 2^{10} = 1024 \]

Therefore, there are 1024 different subsets of the set \( A \). To fill in the blank provided, you would write "1024".
