Let R be a relation on the set { a, b, c, d }




R = { (a, b), (a, c), (a, d), (c, b), (c, d), (d, b)}.




Identify the properties satisfied on this given relation.




Consider a relation R on a set A = { 2, 4, 7 }.



Given the relation R = { (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 7), (4, 7}. Find:



1. Complement of a Relation

2. Inverse of a Relation

3. Composite Product R o S and S o R ; S = { (1, 2), (2, 4), (2, 7) }

1. Let S be the set of all strings of English letters. Determine whether these relations are reflexive, irreflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, and/or transitive.



a) R1 = {(a, b) | a and b have no letters in common}



b) R2 = {(a, b) | a and b are not the same length}



c) R3 = {(a, b) | a is longer than b}




Let a_{k} = 3^{k} + k - 2 for all k \geq 0.


Write down the values of a_{1}, a_{2} and a_{3}.


Write down the values of A(1), A(2) and A(3) defined by the recurrence relation: A(0) = -1, A(k) = 3A(k - 1) - 2k + 7, k \geq 1


Show that A(k) = a_{k} is a solution of the recurrence relation for all values of k \geq 1.


Write down all derangements of the set \left\{ a,b,c,d \right\} and show that the number of derangements is the same as predicted by the recurrence D(n) = (n - 1)(D(n - 2) + D(n - 1)) with initial values D(1) = 0 and D(2) = 1. Hint: a derangement is a permutation of an ordered set where no element is in the same place as before. Example: \left\{ b,a,d,c \right\} is a derangement of \left\{ a,b,c,d \right\} because all of the letters positions have changed.

Consider a relation R on a set A = { 2, 4, 7 }.

3. Composite Product R o S and S o R ; S = { (1, 2), (2, 4), (2, 7) }





If 1 + 2 = 3, then 3 is odd.



There is a set X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Find the sets A, B, C such that A ⊆ X, B ⊆ X,

C ⊆ X,

(A ∪ B) ⊆ (A ∩ C)

and C 6⊆ B.


1. Let A = { 2, 3 }, and B = { 3, 4, 5, 6 }


Let R be a relation from A to B where



R = {(x, y) “x exactly divides y”}



Enumerate the following:



A. elements of R; R = { ______, ______, ______, ______ }



rewrite R as a table.


A B








2. Let R be a relation on A = { 1, 2, 3 } defined by




R = { (x, y) l x ≤ y ˄ x, y ∈ A }



Identify the domain and range of the relation R.




















Solve the recurrence relation A(n) = 6A(n - 1) - 11A(n - 2) + 6A(n - 3) subject to initial values A(1) = 2, A(2) = 6, A(3) = 20.
