A) 4 subsets
B) 6 subsets
C) 8 subsets
D) 12 subsets

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The xy, xz, and yz planes divide Cartesian space into 8 subsets, which can be thought of as octants. Each of the three planes creates 2 subsets, and each subset from one plane intersects with each of the subsets from the other two planes, creating 2x2x2=8 subsets in total.
