1A binary relation \(\varrho\) on the set of real numbers is defined by \[ (\forall x, y \in \mathbb{R}) \quad x \varrho y \iff x^2 - 3xy + 2y^2 = 0 . \] (a) Determine whether \(\varrho\) is reflexive, …Open2On the set \[ A=\left\{0,\;1,\;-1,\;2,\;\tfrac12,\;-2,\;-\tfrac12,\;3,\;\tfrac13\right\} \] define the relation \[ \rho=\left\{(a,b)\in A\times A \;:\; \left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)(ab-1)=0\right\}. \] (a) …3A set \(A\) is given. Among its subsets a relation \(\sim\) is defined by \[ X \subseteq A, \quad Y \subseteq A, \qquad X \sim Y \iff X \cap Y \neq \varnothing . \] Determine whether \(\sim\) is reflexive, …4Let \(A\), \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\) be finite sets such that \(D \subseteq A \cup B\), \(D \subseteq C\) and \[ |A \triangle B| + |B \setminus C| + |C \setminus D| + |B \cap D| = |A| . \] (a) Prove that …5Let \(\varrho\) be a binary relation on the set \(\mathbb{N}\) defined, for all \(x, y \in \mathbb{N}\), by \[ x \varrho y \iff (\exists k \in A)\ x + 2y = 3k \cdot x. \] In each of the cases \[ \text{(a) } A = \mathbb{N}, \qquad \text{(b) } A = \mathbb{T}, \qquad \text{(c) } A = \mathbb{Q}, \] …
