Question

Let R = {(x, y) : |x² − y²| <1) be a relation on set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Write R as a set of ordered pairs.

Answer 1

R is the set of ordered pairs satisfying the above relation. Also, no two different elements can satisfy the relation; only the same elements can satisfy the given relation.

So, R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5)}
