| I'm doing BSc in Mathematics and need answers especially the workings od the following assignment questions?
A1. Determine whether the relation xRy where xRy means there exists an integer n such that x=2n y is an equivalence relation. Is the relation antisymmetric?A2. Define an operation * on R by x*y=xy +1. Show that * is commutative but not associative. If we consider R\{0) does * have an identity on this set?A3. Let a,b be fixed rel numbers and define θ:R→R by θ(x)=ax+b. Prove that θ is bijective if and only if a*0 and give a formula for θ-1.A4. Prove that (AxB)∩(BxA)=(A∩B)x(A∩B) for any sets A,B. Is the result true if we replace ∩by Ù?A5. Let n be an integer. Prove that if n2 is even then n is even.Hint: Assume that n is not even, ie. N is odd.A6. Determine whether the relation “x divides y” is a total order on the set W={1,2,4}.A7. Let M denote the set of all invertible 2x2 matrices with real entries. Prove that M is a commutative group under addition.A8. Let S =P(A) (the set of all subsets of A). Do the semigroups (S, V ) and (S,^) have identities?A9. Let (A,*) be a set closed under * with identity 1 and a,x be elements of A with inverses b and y respectively. What is the inverse of a*x in A?A10. Let f:R→R and g:R→R be functions defined by f(x)= 2x+1 and g(x)+x2-2.Determine which one is injective and which one is surjective. Determine whether f and g are bijective.Determine (g о f)(2).A11. Determine whether f:R→R given by f(x)=√x is a mapping.
