Solution
Solution Steps
To list all the elements of the given set, we need to identify the pattern or rule that generates the elements. The set appears to be a sequence of powers of 2, starting from \(2^1\) and continuing until \(2^8\). We will generate these powers of 2 and list them in ascending order.
Step 1: Identify the Pattern
The set \(\{2, 4, 8, \ldots, 256\}\) follows a pattern where each element is a power of 2. Specifically, the elements are \(2^1, 2^2, 2^3, \ldots, 2^8\).
Step 2: List the Elements
By calculating each power of 2 from \(2^1\) to \(2^8\), we obtain the elements of the set:
\(2^1 = 2\)
\(2^2 = 4\)
\(2^3 = 8\)
\(2^4 = 16\)
\(2^5 = 32\)
\(2^6 = 64\)
\(2^7 = 128\)
\(2^8 = 256\)
Step 3: Write the Set in Set Notation
The complete set in set notation is:
\[
\{2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256\}
\]
