Determine the power set, $P(A)$ for $A={ x: x=0 text{ or } x in P({0}) }$

$begingroup$


This is my attempted solution for this question but, is there other cases that I should consider?



case 1: $x=0, A={0}, P(A)={emptyset,0}$



case 2:
$xin P({0}), A={emptyset, {0}}, P(A)={emptyset,{emptyset},{0},{emptyset,{0}}}$

    I think you are missing $x=0$ in your set, in addition to $emptyset$ and ${0}$ which you already have.

HINT



Since $P({0}) = {{0}, emptyset}$, you have
$$
A = { x: x=0 text{ or } x in P({0}) }
= {0} cup P({0})
= {0, {0}, emptyset}
$$

and the power set is given by all subsets of this, so should have a grand total of 8 elements.
