Let X = R and A = {disjoint union of the intervals of the form (a, b], (−∞, b] and (a, + ∞)}. Prove that A is an algebra but not a σ-algebra.

Expert Solution

Here is the answer.

Here we assume that X and empty set includes in A.

By construction of A it is clear that finite union of elements of A belongs to A.

Let A = R x R, and let a relation S be defined as: “(x1, y1) S (x2, y2) ⬄ points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)are 5 units apart.” Determine whether S is reflexive, symmetric, or transitive. If the answer is “yes,” give a justification (full proof is not needed); if the answer is “no” you must give a counterexample.

Consider the class C of all intervals of the form (a, b), a, b ∈ R, a < b and ∅. Show that C is closed under finite intersections but not under complementations or unions. Hint: to show closure of finite intersections, it is enough to prove closure for intersections of 2 sets.
