Let ܵ\(S\) denote the set of all functions \(f:\{0,1\}^4 \to \{0,1\}\). Denote by \(N\) the number of functions from S to the set {0,1}. The value of \(\log_2 \log_2N\) is _______.

Attempted by 195 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 16

Answer: 16

Explanation:

  • The set {0,1}^4 has 2^4 = 16 elements.

  • Each function in S assigns to each of these 16 inputs a value in {0,1}, so |S| = 2^{16}.

  • N is the number of functions from S to {0,1}, so N = 2^{|S|} = 2^{2^{16}}.

  • Therefore log2 N = 2^{16}, and log2 log2 N = log2(2^{16}) = 16.
