$R_{1}$ is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Reflexivity: For any $a \in R$, we have $1 + a \cdot a = 1 + a^{2}$. Since $a^{2} \ge 0$, $1 + a^{2} \ge 1 > 0$. Thus, $(a, a) \in R_{1}$ for all $a \in R$. So, $R_{1}$ is reflexive.Symmetry: If $(a, b) \in R_{1}$, then $1 + ab > 0$. Since $ab = ba$, we have $1 + ba > 0$, which implies $(b, a) \in R_{1}$. So, $R_{1}$ is symmetric.Transitivity: Consider $a = 1$, $b = 1/2$, and $c = -1$. We have $1 + (1)(1/2) = 1.5 > 0$, so $(1, 1/2) \in R_{1}$. Also, $1 + (1/2)(-1) = 0.5 > 0$, so $(1/2, -1) \in R_{1}$. However, $1 + (1)(-1) = 0$, which is not $> 0$. Thus, $(1, -1) 
otin R_{1}$. Therefore, $R_{1}$ is not transitive.

Let the relation $R_{1}$ be defined on $R$ as $a R_{1} b$ if $1+ab > 0$. Then
