**Problem: Write Down the Following Sets Explicitly**

(a) \( P(\{\emptyset\}) \)

- **Explanation**: The power set of any set is the set of all its subsets. For the set \(\{\emptyset\}\), the subsets are:
  - The empty set: \(\emptyset\)
  - The set itself: \(\{\emptyset\}\)

  Therefore, the power set is: 

  \[
  P(\{\emptyset\}) = \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}
  \]

(b) \(\{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\} \times \{2, 3, 5\}\)

- **Explanation**: The Cartesian product of two sets involves pairing each element of the first set with each element of the second set. For the sets \(\{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\) and \(\{2, 3, 5\}\), the Cartesian product is as follows:

  - Pair \(\emptyset\) with each element of \(\{2, 3, 5\}\):
    - \((\emptyset, 2)\)
    - \((\emptyset, 3)\)
    - \((\emptyset, 5)\)

  - Pair \(\{\emptyset\}\) with each element of \(\{2, 3, 5\}\):
    - \((\{\emptyset\}, 2)\)
    - \((\{\emptyset\}, 3)\)
    - \((\{\emptyset\}, 5)\)

  Thus, the Cartesian product is:

  \[
  \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\} \times \{2, 3, 5\} = \{(\emptyset, 2), (\emptyset, 3), (\emptyset, 5), (\{\emptyset\}, 2), (\{\emptyset\}, 3), (\{\emptyset\}, 5)\}
  \]
