Math Problem Statement

Draw the digraph of the relation R, where the relation R on {1,2,3,4} defined by (x,y) ∈ R if x squared greater or equal than y.

Solution

Here is the digraph for the relation RR on the set {1,2,3,4}\{1, 2, 3, 4\}, where (x,y)R(x, y) \in R if x2yx^2 \geq y. The directed edges show the relationships between the elements based on the condition.

Would you like further details or have any questions about this digraph?

Here are 5 related questions you might find interesting:

  1. How do you determine the reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties of a relation from its digraph?
  2. Can this relation be represented as a matrix? If so, how would it look?
  3. How does this relation differ from other types, like strict inequalities?
  4. How would the digraph change if the relation were based on x2<yx^2 < y?
  5. How can you interpret the digraph of a relation geometrically or visually?

Tip: When analyzing digraphs, it’s often helpful to check for cycles or transitivity by tracing paths between nodes.
