- Let be a relation defined on the set of all integers by if and only if sum of and is odd. Decide whether or not is an equivalence relation. Justify your decision.arrow_forwardGive an example of a relation R on a nonempty set A that is symmetric and transitive, but not reflexive.arrow_forwardLabel each of the following statements as either true or false. Let R be a relation on a nonempty set A that is symmetric and transitive. Since R is symmetric xRy implies yRx. Since R is transitive xRy and yRx implies xRx. Hence R is alsoreflexive and thus an equivalence relation on A.arrow_forward
- A relation R on a nonempty set A is called asymmetric if, for x and y in A, xRy implies yRx. Which of the relations in Exercise 2 areasymmetric? In each of the following parts, a relation R is defined on the set of all integers. Determine in each case whether or not R is reflexive, symmetric, or transitive. Justify your answers. a. xRy if and only if x=2y. b. xRy if and only if x=y. c. xRy if and only if y=xk for some k in . d. xRy if and only if xy. e. xRy if and only if xy. f. xRy if and only if x=|y|. g. xRy if and only if |x||y+1|. h. xRy if and only if xy i. xRy if and only if xy j. xRy if and only if |xy|=1. k. xRy if and only if |xy|1.arrow_forwardIn each of the following parts, a relation is defined on the set of all human beings. Determine whether the relation is reflective, symmetric, or transitive. Justify your answers. xRy if and only if x lives within 400 miles of y. xRy if and only if x is the father of y. xRy if and only if x is a first cousin of y. xRy if and only if x and y were born in the same year. xRy if and only if x and y have the same mother. xRy if and only if x and y have the same hair colour.arrow_forward21. A relation on a nonempty set is called irreflexive if for all. Which of the relations in Exercise 2 are irreflexive? 2. In each of the following parts, a relation is defined on the set of all integers. Determine in each case whether or not is reflexive, symmetric, or transitive. Justify your answers. a. if and only if b. if and only if c. if and only if for some in . d. if and only if e. if and only if f. if and only if g. if and only if h. if and only if i. if and only if j. if and only if. k. if and only if.arrow_forward
- 13. Consider the set of all nonempty subsets of . Determine whether the given relation on is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Justify your answers. a. if and only if is subset of . b. if and only if is a proper subset of . c. if and only if and have the same number of elements.arrow_forwardLet (A) be the power set of the nonempty set A, and let C denote a fixed subset of A. Define R on (A) by xRy if and only if xC=yC. Prove that R is an equivalence relation on (A).arrow_forwardDoes the relation is a friend of have a reflexive property consider one person? A symmetric property consider two people? A transitive property consider three people?arrow_forward
- Let and be lines in a plane. Decide in each case whether or not is an equivalence relation, and justify your decisions. if and only ifand are parallel. if and only ifand are perpendicular.arrow_forwardState whether the statement is true or false :'' All relations are mapping but the converse is not true ''.arrow_forwardDefine a relation R on the set N of natural numbers by R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5, x is a natural number less than 4; x, y ∈N}. Depict this relationship using roster form. Write down the domain and the range.arrow_forward
