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

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 elementsa,\, 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.

Tony wants to save $10,000 in 6 years. Assuming a 4% interest rate, what is the minimum he must save each month to reach his goa
arlik [135]

We have been given that Tony wants to save $10000 in 6 years.

That means future value S = $10000

Time t= 6 years

Interest rate = 4% yearly = 0.04 yearly

n=12 months per year

Now we have to find monthly payment to recieve $10000 in 6 years. so we need to apply monthly payment formula which is

S=R(\frac{(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-1}{\frac{r}{n}})

10000=R(\frac{(1+\frac{0.04}{12})^{12*6}-1}{\frac{0.04}{12}})

10000=R(\frac{(1+0.00333333333333)^{72}-1}{0.00333333333333})

10000=R(\frac{(1.00333333333333)^{72}-1}{0.00333333333333})

10000=R(\frac{1.27074187908-1}{0.00333333333333})

10000=R(\frac{0.27074187908}{0.00333333333333})

10000=R(81.2225637241)

\frac{10000}{81.2225637241}=R

123.11849739=R

which is approx $123.

Hence final answer is C) $123.

H2 + 7h + 10 = 0<br> Help please
Leni [432]

Answer:

-2, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

h2 + 7h + 10 = 0

h^2 +7h + 10 = 0

h^2 +2h +5h + 10 = 0

h(h+2) + 5(h+2) = 0

h+2 = 0 or h+5 = 0

h = -2 or h = -5
