Answer:

$7p\leq 40$

Jamie can buy lunch for 5 person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jamie has $40.

Lunch cost per person = $7

Solution:

Jamie wants to treat some friends to lunch.He has $40 and knows that lunch will cost about $7 per person, p.

So, an inequality to represent this situation is written as:

$(Lunch\ cost\ per\ person)p\leq Total\ amount$

$7p\leq 40$

$p\leq \frac{40}{7}$

$p\leq 5.71$

Hence, the answer is 5

Therefore, Jamie can buy lunch for 5 persons.

Check whether the relation R on the set S = {1, 2, 3} is an equivalent

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$R$ isn't an equivalence relation. It is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $S$ denote a set of elements. $S \times S$ would denote the set of all ordered pairs of elements of $S\!$ .

For example, with $S = \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace$ , $(3,\, 2)$ and $(2,\, 3)$ are both members of $S \times S$ . However, $(3,\, 2) \ne (2,\, 3)$ because the pairs are ordered.

A relation $R$ on $S\!$ is a subset of $S \times S$ . For any two elements $a,\, b \in S$ , $a \sim b$ if and only if the ordered pair $(a,\, b)$ is in $R\!$ .

A relation $R$ on set $S$ is an equivalence relation if it satisfies the following:

Reflexivity: for any $a \in S$ , the relation $R$ needs to ensure that $a \sim a$ (that is: $(a,\, a) \in R$ .)

Symmetry: for any $a,\, b \in S$ , $a \sim b$ if and only if $b \sim a$ . In other words, either both $(a,\, b)$ and $(b,\, a)$ are in $R$ , or neither is in $R\!$ .

Transitivity: for any $a,\, b,\, c \in S$ , if $a \sim b$ and $b \sim c$ , then $a \sim c$ . In other words, if $(a,\, b)$ and $(b,\, c)$ are both in $R$ , then $(a,\, c)$ also needs to be in $R\!$ .

The relation $R$ (on $S = \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace$ ) in this question is indeed reflexive. $(1,\, 1)$ , $(2,\, 2)$ , and $(3,\, 3)$ (one pair for each element of $S$ ) are all elements of $R\!$ .

$R$ isn't symmetric. $(2,\, 3) \in R$ but $(3,\, 2) \not \in R$ (the pairs in $\! R$ are all ordered.) In other words, $3$ isn't equivalent to $2$ under $R\!$ even though $2 \sim 3$ .

Neither is $R$ transitive. $(3,\, 1) \in R$ and $(1,\, 2) \in R$ . However, $(3,\, 2) \not \in R$ . In other words, under relation $R\!$ , $3 \sim 1$ and $1 \sim 2$ does not imply $3 \sim 2$ .
