I am stuck on this one question. It meantions something like R(R^(-1)) can someone explain to me how to read this exactly and what does it mean.

  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

this is the entire question

vagrant iris
#

R^-1 notates the inverse

vernal cape
#

yeah thats alright

#

but what is the R outside the inverse of R

vagrant iris
#

U plug the values into R again

vernal cape
#

how does that change R

#

well in this case R(-1)B gives the set of all elements of A which make the relation aRb possible

#

how do I plug that in a R()

vagrant iris
#

U can plug sets into functions

#

They give the united result of plugging them individually in

vernal cape
#

hmm

#

lemme try and get back to you

#

@vagrant iris that helped a lot thank you so much

#

So what is your progress?

#

Show me your work

#

So I know where you stand/have difficulties

#

@vernal cape

vernal cape
#

its a mess

#

wait a min

#

I am really new to proofs so not really good at writing em

#

very bad

tame bough
#

I agree

#

Well done

vernal cape
#

it will be R(R^-1(B)) = B is a contingency in the first page

tame bough
#

Now just to choose the right thing

vernal cape
vernal cape
tame bough
#

a, b or c

vernal cape
#

oh got it

tame bough
#

Which do you think it is?

#

It can't be a obv

vernal cape
#

ig its the 3rd one which is the tautology

tame bough
#

Tautology is a?

#

Which us what we proved was not the case

#

c is correct though

#

Yes

vernal cape
#

yeah

tame bough
#

Gg

vernal cape
#

well my proff told me to give examples to prove a contingency and to give general proofs for Tautology and Contradictions

#

thats what I am trying to do

#

I was really confused my all the symbols and stuff earlier

#

need to practise more to get comfortable with them

#

thanks for verifying it tho

tame bough

Welcome. Have fun! 🎩
