Solution Summary

This solution defines what it means if a product is said to be reflexive, symmetric/antisymmetric, transitive or Boolean. It then shows how to find if a given relation is reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, or transitive and explains the logic behind the answer, then shows how to find the Boolean product of two matrices.

1.
a. Reflexive means (x,x) E R for all real number x. However, (2,2) is not E R since the first coordinate 2 is not = 1. R is not reflexive.

b. Symmetry means (x,y) E R implies (y,x) E R. However, (1,2) E R but (2,1) is not E R is not symmetric.

c. Antisymmetric means (x,y) E R and x is not = y ...
