Problem 27

Let \(R\) be a relation from a set \(A\) to a set \(B\) . The inverse relation from \(B\) to \(A,\) denoted by \(R^{-1}\) , is the set of ordered pairs \(\\{(b, a) |(a, b) \in R\\} .\) The complementary relation \(\overline{R}\) is the set of ordered pairs \(\\{(a, b) |(a, b) \notin R\\}\).
