Solution
N = the set of natural numbers.
R is the relation defined on N by
a R b if a + b ≤ 6
R = {(a, b), a, b ∈ N / a + b ≤ 6}
a + b ≤ 6 ⇒ b ≤ 6 – a
a = 1,
b ≤ 6 – 1 = 5
b is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
∴ (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5) ∈ R
a = 2,
b ≤ 6 – 2 = 4
b is 1, 2, 3, 4
∴ (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4) ∈ R
a = 3,
b < 6 – 3 = 3
b is 1, 2, 3
∴ (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3) ∈ R
a = 4 ,
b < 6 – 4 = 2
b is 1, 2
∴ (4, 1), (4, 2) ∈ R
a = 5,
b < 6 – 5 = 1
b is 1
∴ (5, 1) ∈ R
∴ R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (4, 1), (4, 2), (5, 1)}
Reflexive:
R is not reflexive since (4, 4), (5, 5) ∈
