**8. Problem Statement:**

Let 

\[ S = \{ (a, b), (b, a), (b, d), (b, e), (b, f), (c, c), (d, e), (f, c), (f, f) \} \]

be a relation on the set \(\{ a, b, c, d, e, f \}\). Write the relation \( S^2 \) as a set of ordered pairs.

---

**Explanation:**

- **Relation \( S \):** A set of ordered pairs that define how elements are related within a set.

- **Set Elements:** \( \{ a, b, c, d, e, f \} \)

- **Objective:** To find \( S^2 \), we need to compute the composition of \( S \) with itself. This involves finding pairs \((x, z)\) such that there exists an intermediate \( y \) where both \((x, y)\) and \((y, z)\) are in \( S \).

---

**Instructions for Calculating \( S^2 \):**

1. **Identify Intermediate Connections:**
   - Find pairs \((x, y)\) in \( S \).
   - Check if there exists a \((y, z)\) in \( S \).

2. **Form New Pairs:**
   - Based on intermediate connections, create new pairs \((x, z)\).

3. **Compile \( S^2 \):**
   - Gather all new pairs to form \( S^2 \).

Ensure to systematically explore all possible intermediate connections to complete the set \( S^2 \).
