AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding how to determine antisymmetric and transitive properties using matrices, following an explanation of reflexive and symmetric properties. The user provides examples of matrices that illustrate reflexivity and symmetry, but seeks clarification on how to apply similar methods for antisymmetry and transitivity. A response emphasizes the need for clearer definitions of these terms as they may be interpreted differently. The conversation highlights the importance of precise terminology in mathematical discussions to facilitate better understanding and assistance. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify matrix properties beyond reflexivity and symmetry.

antisymmetric and transitive using the matrix??

I know about find reflexive and symmetric using the matrix

For example, {1,2,3,4,5}

1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 1 (This is reflexive)

1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 1 (This is not reflexive cause 3 is not R 3)

0 1 0 1 0
1 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 (This is symmetric)

0 1 0 1 0
0 0 1 0 1
0 1 0 1 0
1 0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 (This is not symmetric cause 1R2, but 2 is not R 1)

I calculate the symmetric is start from the row 1, and then check each column in the row 1, after finished all the column in row 1, then i will move on to the row 2.

And my question is how to check the antisymmetric and transitive using the matrix??

Your questions are incomprehensible. You are using the words "reflexive", "transitive", etc., in seemingly unusual ways. It is not clear to me that your meaning of these words is the same as what I (and many others) would think. So, first, just explain what YOU mean by reflexive, transitive, etc. Then, once we understand what you want to do we will be better able to help.

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
