Let ε = 0.0005 and let Rε = {(x, y) ∈ ℝ2 : |x − y| < ε}, which can be interpreted as 'approximately equal'. Rε is
(A) Reflexive
(B) Symmetric
(C) Transitive

Correct answer: A. (A) and (B) only true
Explanation
|x − x| = 0 < ε and |x − y| = |y − x|, so it is reflexive and symmetric. It is not transitive: 0 ~ 0.0003 and 0.0003 ~ 0.0006, but |0 − 0.0006| > ε.More Discrete Structures and Optimization questions
