Question 1

What defines an antisymmetric relation?

If a relates to b and b to a
a must equal b
If a relates to b
then b relates to a
None of the above

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of pairs being equal.

Question 2

Is the relation R = {(1, 1), (1, 2)} antisymmetric?

True
False

💡 Hint: Identify if both pairs exist.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Define whether R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2)} is antisymmetric. Explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Look for pairs that might contradict.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a set of relations R on {a, b, c} such that R is antisymmetric but contains both (a, b) and (b, a). Can this be done? Discuss why or why not.

💡 Hint: Reflect on properties governing antisymmetry.
