Question

For each relation, indicate whether the relation is:

  • reflexive, anti-reflexive, or neither
  • symmetric, anti-symmetric, or neither
  • transitive or not transitive
(c)
The domain of relation P is the set of all positive integers. For x, y e Z*, xPy if there is a positive integer n such that x" = y.
(0) The domain for the relation D is the set of all integers. For any two integers, x and y, xDy if x evenly divides y. An integer x evenly
divides y if there is another integer n such that y = xn. (Note that the domain is the set of all integers, not just positive integers.)
(e)
The domain for the relation A is the set of all real numbers. XAy if |x - yl s 2.

Expert Solution
Step 1

c Reflexive: Let xZ+

there is a positive integer 1 such that  x1=x

xPx 

Relation is reflexive.

Symmetric: Let x,yZ+ and xPy

since xPy there exist a positive integer such that xn=y

x=y1n

since 1nN 

yPx

Relation is not symmetric.
