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.

Answer: Domain of the function represented in the graph is given by he inequality . 2 <_ x _< 10  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Observing the graph

The domain is the quantity of yellow paint in millimeters

The domain is the interval -----> [2,10]

All real numbers greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 10

therefore 2 <_ x _< 10

Hello there,


So we are trying to find out is the angle ∠BAC in degrees. 

So what we are going to do is. . .25- (2x-10)°.

That answer would be -2x+35.

So ∠BAC= -2x+35°.
Hope this helps.
