- Let be a relation defined on the set of all integers by if and only if sum of and is odd. Decide whether or not is an equivalence relation. Justify your decision.arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. Let be an equivalence relation on a nonempty setand let and be in. If, then.arrow_forwardLabel 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.arrow_forward
