Problem Set 1

1. Let 𝐴 = {2, 3, 4} and 𝐵 = {8, 9, 10} and define a relation 𝐻 from 𝐴 𝑡𝑜 𝐵 such that (𝑥, 𝑦) ϵ 𝐻
x
if and only if is an integer. List all the elements of 𝐻. Show your verification below.
y

Answer:

A = (2, 3, 4)

B = (8, 9, 10)

H = {(2, 8), (2, 10), (3, 9), (4, 8)}

A x B = {(2, 8), (2, 9), (2, 10), (3, 8), (3, 9), (3, 10), (4, 8), (4, 9), (4, 10)}

(2, 8) =4 ∈ H

9
(2, 9) =¿4.5 ∉ H

10
(2, 10) =¿5 ∈ H

8
(3, 8) =¿2.67 ∉ H

9
(3, 9) =¿3 ∈ H

10
(3, 10) =¿3.33 ∉ H

8
(4, 8) =¿2 ∈ H

9
(4, 9) =2.25 ∉ H

10 5
(4, 10) = ¿ 2.5 ∉ H
4 2

Therefore 𝐻= {(2, 8), (2, 10), (3, 9), (4, 8)}
