Determine whether each of the binary relation R defined on the given sets A is reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, or transitiv

e. If a relation has a certain property, prove this is so; otherwise provide a counterexample to show that it does not. (a) A = Z: (a, b) E R if and only if ab > 0. (b) A = R: (a, b) R if and only if a^2=b^2 (c) A = N: (a, be R if and only if a/b is an integer.

Answer:

In explanation

Please let me know if something doesn't make sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

*This relation is not reflexive.

0 is an integer and (0,0) is not in the relation because 0(0)>0 is not true.

*This relation is symmetric because if a(b)>0 then b(a)>0 since multiplication is commutative.

*This relation is transitive.

Assume a(b)>0 and b(c)>0.

Note: This means not a,b, or c can be zero.

Therefore we have abbc>0.

Since b^2 is positive then ac is positive.

Since a(c)>0, then (a,c) is in R provided (a,b) and (b,c) is in R.

*The relation is not antisymmretric.

(3,2) and (2,3) are in R but 3 doesn't equal 2.

b)

*This relation is reflective.

Since a^2=a^2 for any a, then (a,a) is in R.

*The relation is symmetric.

If a^2=b^2, then b^2=a^2.

*The relation is transitive.

If a^2=b^2 and b^2=c^2, then a^2=c^2.

*The relation is not antisymmretric.

(1,-1) and (-1,1) is in the relation but-1 doesn't equal 1.

c)

*The relation is reflexive.

a/a=1 for any a in the naturals.

*The relation is not symmetric.

Wile 4/2 is an integer, 2/4 is not.

*The relation is transitive.

If a/b=z and b/c=y where z and y are integers, then a=bz and b=cy.

This means a=cyz. This implies a/c=yz.

Since the product of integers is an integer, then (a,c) is in the relation provided (a,b) and (b,c) are in the relation.

*The relation is antisymmretric.

Assume (a,b) is an R. (Note: a,b are natural numbers.) This means a/b is an integer. This also means a is either greater than or equal to b. If b is less than a, then (b,a) is not in R. If a=b, then (b,a) is in R. (Note: b/a=1 since b=a)

A blind taste test will be conducted with 9 volunteers to determine whether people can taste a difference between bottled water
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The answer is \frac{1}{256}

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water, then the probability of identifying tap water is 0.5

Thus, P(identify tap water)=0.5

The probability that at least 8 of the 9 people identify the tap water correctly is the sum of the probabilities

  • 8 of 9 people identified correctly or
  • 9 of 9 people identified correctly

Since P(identify tap water)=0.5 each probabilities are the same and equal to

0.5^9 =\frac{1}{512}

So we have 2*\frac{1}{512} = \frac{1}{256}

If geometry symbol represented as small triangle with three sides. abc geometry congruent symbol represented as two small horizo
n200080 [17]

The value of x in the congruent triangles abc and dec is 1

<h3>How to determine the value x?</h3>

The question implies that the triangles  abc and dec are congruent triangles.

The congruent sides are:

ab = de

bc = ce = 4

ac = cd = 5

The congruent side ab = de implies that:

4x - 1 = x + 2

Collect like terms

4x - x = 2 + 1

Evaluate the like terms

3x = 3

Divide through by 3

x = 1

Hence, the value of x is 1
