Answer:

R is an equivalence relation, since R is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation R is an equivalence if it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

The order to options required to show that R is an equivalence relation are;

((a, b), (a, b)) ∈ R since a·b = b·a

Therefore, R is reflexive

If ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R then a·d = b·c, which gives c·b = d·a, then ((c, d), (a, b)) ∈ R

Therefore, R is symmetric

If ((c, d), (e, f)) ∈ R, and ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R therefore, c·f = d·e, and a·d = b·c

Multiplying gives, a·f·c·d = b·e·c·d, which gives, a·f = b·e, then ((a, b), (e, f)) ∈R

Therefore R is transitive

From the above proofs, the relation R is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, therefore, R is an equivalent relation.

Reasons:

Prove that the relation R is reflexive

Reflexive property is a property is the property that a number has a value that it posses (it is equal to itself)

The given relation is ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R if and only if a·d = b·c

By multiplication property of equality; a·b = b·a

Therefore;

((a, b), (a, b)) ∈ R

The relation, R, is reflexive.

Prove that the relation, R, is symmetric

Given that if ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R then we have, a·d = b·c

Therefore, c·b = d·a implies ((c, d), (a, b)) ∈ R

((a, b), (c, d)) and ((c, d), (a, b)) are symmetric.

Therefore, the relation, R, is symmetric.

Prove that R is transitive

Symbolically, transitive property is as follows; If x = y, and y = z, then x = z

From the given relation, ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R, then a·d = b·c

Therefore, ((c, d), (e, f)) ∈ R, then c·f = d·e

By multiplication, a·d × c·f = b·c × d·e

a·d·c·f = b·c·d·e

Therefore;

a·f·c·d = b·e·c·d

a·f = b·e

Which gives;

((a, b), (e, f)) ∈ R, therefore, the relation, R, is transitive.

Therefore;

R is an equivalence relation, since R is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

Based on a similar question posted online, it is required to rank the given options in the order to show that R is an equivalence relation.

ASAP PLZZZ The axis of symmetry for the graph of the function f start bracket x end bracket equals one-quarter x square plus b x
Lilit [14]

Answer:

b=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The  given function is f(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^2+bx+10.

When we compare to ax^2+bx+=0, we have

a=\frac{1}{4} and c=10

The equation of the axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is:

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

Also from the question the axis of symmetry is x=6

We substitute the values to get:

6=-\frac{b}{2*\frac{1}{4}}

6=-\frac{b}{\frac{1}{2}}

b=-\frac{1}{2}*6

b=-3
