In each of the following parts, a relation is defined on the set of all human beings. Determine whether the relation is reflective, symmetric, or transitive. Justify your answers. xRy if and only if x lives within 400 miles of y. xRy if and only if x is the father of y. xRy if and only if x is a first cousin of y. xRy if and only if x and y were born in the same year. xRy if and only if x and y have the same mother. xRy if and only if x and y have the same hair colour.
Label each of the following statements as either true or false. Let R be a relation on a nonempty set A that is symmetric and transitive. Since R is symmetric xRy implies yRx. Since R is transitive xRy and yRx implies xRx. Hence R is alsoreflexive and thus an equivalence relation on A.
