Let R be a relation on the set of all integers such that aRb if and only if 3a − 5b is even. Tell if R is an equivalence relation. Justify your answer. (Hint: 3b − 5a = 3a − 5b + 8b − 8a)

Expert Solution

It is a simple proof by just remembering that even multiples of integers are even integers, and sums and differences of even integers are also even integers.

So, we have proved the relation R on integers to be REFLEXIVE, SYMMETRIC and TRANSITIVE.

Therefore, R is an equivalence relation on the set of integers.

Let R be a relation on a set that is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive?...

Let R be a relation on a set that is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive? Let R(x) = {y : x R y}. [Note that R(x) is the same as x / R except that R is not an equivalence relation in this case.] Does the set A = {R(x) : x ∈ A} always/sometimes/never form a partition of A? Prove that your answer is correct. Do not prove by examples.
