Math Problem Statement
give me 4 set both of which is reflexive, symmetric or antisymmetric and transitive
Solution
Here are four sets, each demonstrating one of the given properties (reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, transitive). I'll explain each set in detail:
1. Set
- Reflexive: Yes, each element is related to itself (i.e., , , and ).
- Symmetric: Yes, since there are no pairs where , every pair is trivially symmetric.
- Antisymmetric: Yes, no pair exists such that and with .
- Transitive: Yes, the only pairs involve identical elements, so transitivity holds.
2. Set
- Reflexive: Yes, is included, but is not. So, it's not reflexive in its entirety.
- Symmetric: Yes, and are present, ensuring symmetry.
- Antisymmetric: No, because and are in the set, which violates antisymmetry.
- Transitive: Yes, and imply that should be present for transitivity, but as it's not required for this set, it holds.
3. Set
- Reflexive: No, no pairs like , , or exist.
- Symmetric: No, is there, but is not, which breaks symmetry.
- Antisymmetric: Yes, there's no pair and with , thus satisfying antisymmetry.
- Transitive: Yes, because and imply that should be in the set, and it is.
4. Set
- Reflexive: No, pairs like and are missing.
- Symmetric: Yes, since for each pair , the reverse exists (e.g., and ).
- Antisymmetric: No, and exist, which violates antisymmetry.
- Transitive: Yes, all transitive relationships are satisfied.
To summarize:
- Set : Reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, and transitive.
- Set : Symmetric and transitive, but not reflexive or antisymmetric.
- Set : Antisymmetric and transitive, but neither reflexive nor symmetric.
- Set : Symmetric and transitive, but neither reflexive nor antisymmetric.
Would you like further explanations or have any other questions? Here are some related questions for your consideration:
- How do you prove a relation is transitive?
- Can a set be reflexive but not symmetric?
- How does symmetry interact with antisymmetry in relations?
- What are some real-world examples of transitive relations?
- How do you prove a relation is antisymmetric?
Tip: To check if a relation is transitive, for any pairs and in the set, check if is also present.

Formulas
Reflexive: ∀x ∈ A, (x, x) ∈ R
Symmetric: ∀(x, y) ∈ R, (y, x) ∈ R
Antisymmetric: ∀(x, y) ∈ R, if (x, y) ∈ R and (y, x) ∈ R, then x = y
Transitive: ∀(x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R, (x, z) ∈ R
