Question

Transcribed Image Text:For the set A = {are, bot, cab, era}, define the relation R on A to be:
(x,y) e R if and only if word x and word y share one letter only.
For example (are, cab) is in R because those words share one letter only ("a").
But (are, era) is NOT in R because those words do NOT share one letter only, they share
3 letters. Also (bot, era) is NOT in R since they share no letters at all.
In cach part, answer yes or no. If yes, then explain why in terms of this specific relation
about sharing letters (not just by stating the generic definition of the property). If you say
a) Is R reflexive?
b) Is R symmetric?
c) Is R antisymmetric?
d) Is R transitive?
