Recall from class that we defined the set of integers by defining the equivalence relation ∼ on N × N by (a, b) ∼ (c, d) =⇒ a + d = c + b, and then took the integers to be equivalence classes for this relation, i.e. Z = [(a, b)]∼ | (a, b) ∈ N × N . We then proceeded to define 0Z = [(0, 0)]∼, 1Z = [(1, 0)]∼, − [(a, b)]∼ = [(b, a)]∼, [(a, b)]∼...

Consider the relation R defined on the set R as follows: ∀x, y ∈ R, (x, y) ∈ R if and only if x + 2 > y. For example, (4, 3) is in R because 4 + 2 = 6, which is greater than 3. (a) Is the relation reflexive? Prove or disprove. (b) Is the relation symmetric? Prove or disprove. (c) Is the relation transitive? Prove or disprove. (d) Is it an equivalence relation? Explain.
