Question

Transcribed Image Text:Let us consider the following relation R on the set of all
pairs of integers: (a,b)R(c,d) if a = c or b = d. Is this
relation (a) reflexive (b) symmetric (c) antisymmetric (d)
transitive? Is this an equivalence relation

Give an example of a relation R on a nonempty set A that is symmetric and transitive, but not reflexive.
arrow_forward
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.
