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)

your phone says that 14.5% is equivalent to the decimal 14.5 explain why your friend is incorrect by comparing the fraction -14.
Lelechka [254]
A percent is a proportion of something that can come from a variety of different numbers depending on what you are measuring. 14.5% is not the same as 14.5 because the 14.5% isn’t necessarily 14.5 of a certain amount. For example, $14.50 of the $100 you have could be from your grandparents; making 14.5% of your money from your grandparents but a deposit of $145 into a bank account that already has $855 would mean that 14.5% of the money in that bank account was from that deposit but $145 does not equal $14.50. They just have the same proportion just different on different scales.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

3(x-6) + 4 + 5x - 6<br><br> (use distributive property)<br><br> please help asap!
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

8x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 6) + 4 + 5x - 6         \longmapsto       Distribute 3 to (x - 6)

3(x) - 3(6) + 4 + 5x - 6

3x - 18 + 4 + 5x - 6

Simplify:

3x + 5x - 18 + 4 - 6

8x -18 - 2

8x - 20

* 4. A circle is divided into ten equal sectors.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

a. Find the measure of each central angle.

The central angle of a circle = 360 °

Now Pie is cut into 10 equal sectors

Angle of each sector is given by

Angle of sector = Total central angle/number of sectors

=  {360}^{0}  \div 10

=  {36}^{0}

Hence , the central angle of one slice of pie is 36°

b. If the diameter is 50 in., find the length of an arc of one of the sectors.

length of an arc of one of the sectors =

= \frac{1}{n}  \times 2\pi \times r

= \frac{1}{10}  \times 2\ \frac{22}{7}  \times 50

= 31.42 \: in

the measure of ∠D is 5 times the measure of ∠E the two angles are supplemanty find the measure of each angle
hammer [34]
Because the angles are supplementary, they add to 180 degrees.

I solved this by dividing \frac{180}{6} which gives me 30 degrees.

multiply 30 by 5 gives you 150.

and 30 + 150 = 180
