Let A the positive integers and let R be the relation defi
Let A = ?+, the positive integers, and let R be the relation defined by a R b if and only if 4a > 2b + 3.
Give two ordered pairs that belong to R.
Give two ordered pairs that do not belong to R.
Solution
Z+ belongs to the set of positive integers starting from 1 and going to infinity
We need to find two ordered pairs that belong to R if and only if 4a > 2b + 3
Consider the points (2,1) and (5,2)
For the point (2,1)
4 * 2 > 2*1 + 3 => 8>5 (Hence the ordered pair (2,1) belongs to the set)
For the point (4,2)
4 * 4 > 2*2 + 3 => 16>7 (Hence the ordered pair (4,2) belongs to the set)
2)
We need to find two ordered pairs that does not belong to R if and only if 4a > 2b + 3
Consider the points (1,2) and (2,4)
For the point (1,2)
4 * 1 > 2*2 + 3 => 4>7 => (Hence the ordered pair (1,2) does not belongs to the set)
For the point (2,4)
4 * 2 > 2*4 + 3 => 8>11 => (Hence the ordered pair (4,2) does not belongs to the set)
Answer to part A (2,1) and (4,2)
Answer to part B (1,2) and (2,4) which also implies that relation is not symmetric
