Math Problem Statement
Consider S={1,2,3} and the following relation R on S: R={⟨1,2⟩,⟨2,3⟩,⟨3,1⟩,⟨1,1⟩,⟨2,2⟩,⟨3,3⟩}. Pick the right properties of R
:
Reflexive
Symmetric
Transitive
Total
Irreflexive: ∀x : ⟨x,x⟩∉R
Asymmetric: ∀x,y : ⟨x,y⟩∈R → ⟨y,x⟩∉R
Anti-symmetric
Intransitive: ∀x,y,z : (⟨x,y⟩∈R ∧ ⟨y,z⟩∈R) → ⟨x,z⟩∉R
Solution
Given the set and the relation , let's analyze the properties of the relation in detail.
Reflexive:
- A relation is reflexive if for every element , .
- Here, , , and are all in , so is reflexive.
Symmetric:
- A relation is symmetric if for every pair , we also have .
- In , we have but not , and but not , and similarly for .
- Therefore, is not symmetric.
Transitive:
- A relation is transitive if whenever and , then .
- We can check:
- and (
