Question 1

Is the union of two equivalence relations always an equivalence relation?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think of specific pairs that could violate this.

Question 2

What property must hold for R1 ∪ R2 to be an equivalence relation?

  • It must be reflexive
  • It must be symmetric

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Prove the statement: If R1 is a subset of R2 and both are equivalence relations, what can you say about R1 ∪ R2 and R2?

💡 Hint: Consider subset relationships.

Question 2

Construct two equivalence relations R1 and R2, where the union is not transitive. Provide elements that demonstrate this.

💡 Hint: Identify ordered pairs that fail to connect transitive links.
