- Give an example of a relation R on a nonempty set A that is symmetric and transitive, but not reflexive.arrow_forwardIn 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.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
- True 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_forward13. Consider the set of all nonempty subsets of . Determine whether the given relation on is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Justify your answers. a. if and only if is subset of . b. if and only if is a proper subset of . c. if and only if and have the same number of elements.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 610, a relation R is defined on the set Z of all integers, In each case, prove that R is an equivalence relation. Find the distinct equivalence classes of R and least four members of each. xRy if and only if x2+y2 is a multiple of 2.arrow_forward
