Prove that the number of equivalence relations in the set \( \{1, 2, 3\} \) including \( \{(1, 2)\} \) and \( \{(2, 1)\} \) is 2.
Step 1: An equivalence relation on a set must be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Step 2: In the set \( \{1, 2, 3\} \), we start by considering the given relations \( \{(1, 2)\} \) and \( \{(2, 1)\} \).
Step 3: Reflexive property requires that each element is related to itself, i.e., \( (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) \) must be included.
Step 4: Symmetric property requires that if \( (a, b) \) is in the relation, then \( (b, a) \) must also be in the relation. So, if \( (1, 2) \) exists, \( (2, 1) \) must also exist.
Step 5: Transitive property ensures that if \( (a, b) \) and \( (b, c) \) are in the relation, then \( (a, c) \) must also be in the relation.
Step 6: The equivalence relations on \( \{1, 2, 3\} \) that satisfy these conditions are: \[ R_1 = \{ (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) \}, \quad R_2 = \{ (1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) \}. \] Thus, the number of equivalence relations is 2.
Let $ A = \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3\} $. Let $ R $ be a relation on $ A $ defined by $ (x, y) \in R $ if and only if $ |x| \le |y| $. Let $ m $ be the number of reflexive elements in $ R $ and $ n $ be the minimum number of elements required to be added in $ R $ to make it reflexive and symmetric relations, respectively. Then $ l + m + n $ is equal to
If the domain of the function $ f(x) = \log_7(1 - \log_4(x^2 - 9x + 18)) $ is $ (\alpha, \beta) \cup (\gamma, \delta) $, then $ \alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta $ is equal to
Let A = $\{-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3\}$. Let R be a relation on A defined by xRy if and only if $ 0 \le x^2 + 2y \le 4 $. Let $ l $ be the number of elements in R and m be the minimum number of elements required to be added in R to make it a reflexive relation. then $ l + m $ is equal to
