Math Problem Statement
Solution
It seems like you've uploaded an image containing a set of mathematical problems and relational questions. I’ll walk through one of the questions based on the parts I can see clearly.
22a (ii) appears to ask you to determine whether each of the following relations on the set is reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, and transitive. The relations listed are:
Let's analyze one of these relations as an example.
Example:
-
Reflexive: For a relation to be reflexive, every element in the set must relate to itself. The set is , so we need the pairs . Since and are missing, it is not reflexive.
-
Symmetric: A relation is symmetric if whenever , then . In , we have but not , so it is not symmetric.
-
Antisymmetric: A relation is antisymmetric if for any and , then . There is no pair such that both and appear in , so the relation is antisymmetric.
-
Transitive: A relation is transitive if whenever and , then . There’s no situation where we can verify a transitive property in , so it is transitive.
Would you like me to analyze the remaining relations or assist with another part of the image?
Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- How do you prove if a relation is an equivalence relation?
- What is the difference between symmetric and antisymmetric relations?
- Can a relation be both symmetric and antisymmetric? If yes, under what conditions?
- How would you check if a relation is a partial order?
- How does the concept of transitivity apply in real-world relations like "is a parent of"?
Tip: When determining whether a relation is reflexive, always check if every element relates to itself (i.e., should be in the set for all elements ).
