Problem 9

Define a relation \(R\) on the set of all real numbers \(\mathbf{R}\) as follows: For all \(x, y \in \mathbf{R}\), $$ x R y \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad x^{2} \leq y^{2} . $$ Is \(R\) a partial order relation? Prove or give a counterexample.

Problem 10

A is the set of all strings of length 4 in \(a\) 's and \(b\) 's. \(R\) is defined on \(A\) as follows: For all strings \(s\) and \(t\) in \(A\), \(s R t \Leftrightarrow\) the first two characters of \(s\) equal the first two characters of \(t\).

Problem 12

Determine whether the given binary relation is reflexive, symmetric, transitive, or none of these. Justify your answers. \(R\) is the "greater than or equal to" relation on the set of real numbers: For all \(x, y \in \mathbf{R}, x R y \Leftrightarrow x \geq y\).

Problem 12

Draw arrow diagrams for \(R, S\), and \(T\). b. Indicate whether any of the relations \(R, S\), and \(T\) are functions.

Problem 13
