The image contains two questions related to mathematics, particularly focused on lattices and partially ordered sets. Here's a breakdown:

Question 1 (a)

"What is complemented lattice? Give an example."

A complemented lattice is a bounded lattice in which every element $a$ has a complement $b$. This means:

1. $a \wedge b = 0$ (the meet of $a$ and $b$ is the least element),
2. $a \vee b = 1$ (the join of $a$ and $b$ is the greatest element).

Example:
The lattice of subsets of a set $S$, where $0 = \emptyset$ (the empty set) and $1 = S$ (the entire set), is a complemented lattice. The complement of a subset $A$ is $S - A$ (the set difference).

Question 1 (b)

"Show that the set of all positive divisors of 72 forms a poset under the relation $a \leq b$ if $a$ is a divisor of $b$. Draw its Hasse diagram."

1. Explanation:

   • A poset (partially ordered set) is a set equipped with a binary relation $\leq$ that is:
     • Reflexive ($a \leq a$),
     • Antisymmetric (if $a \leq b$ and $b \leq a$, then $a = b$),
     • Transitive (if $a \leq b$ and $b \leq c$, then $a \leq c$).
   • Here, the set is all positive divisors of 72:
     $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72$
   • The relation $\leq$ is defined as $a \leq b$ if $a$ divides $b$.

2. Hasse Diagram:

   • A Hasse diagram is a graphical representation of a poset, where:
     • The elements are represented as nodes.
     • There is an edge from $a$ to $b$ if $a$ is covered by $b$ (i.e., $a < b$ and no $c$ exists such that $a < c < b$).

To draw the Hasse diagram:

• Arrange the divisors in levels based on their divisibility.
• Connect elements that are directly related under the divisibility condition.

Would you like me to calculate and construct the full Hasse diagram or clarify any part? Let me know! Here are 5 questions and a tip to expand your understanding:

Questions:

1. What are the differences between bounded lattice and complemented lattice?
2. Can a poset always be represented as a lattice? Why or why not?
3. How do you determine if a Hasse diagram represents a complemented lattice?
4. Can the set of divisors of any number always form a lattice? Explain your reasoning.
5. How does transitivity of a relation affect the construction of Hasse diagrams?

Tip:

When drawing Hasse diagrams, always remove transitive edges to simplify the structure while preserving the order relationships.
