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)

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 0 because the slope intercept form is y=mx+b right now you only have the y intercept which is the b of the equation. That means that your slope is non existence

Answer: the depth of the trench is 3685 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The hole is approximately 347 yards wide. This means that the diameter of the hole is 347 yards.

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

Where

r represents the radius of the cylinder or hole.

h represents the height or depth of the cylinder or hole.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Volume = 348289500 ft³

Radius = diameter/2 = 347/2 = 173.5 ft

Therefore,

348289500 = 3.14 × 173.5² × h

348289500 = 94521.065h

h = 348289500/94521.065

h = 3685 feet
