Homework Statement


Are these two relations reflexive, antisymmetric, transitive?

1. (w,x)<=(y,z) iff w+x <= y+z

2. (w,x)<=(y,z) iff w+x <= y+z AND w<y

The Attempt at a Solution



1. reflexive - yes; antisymmetric - no; transitive - yes;

2. reflexive - yes; antisymmetric - yes; transitive - yes;

would you say the second is reflexive?

With the way I wrote it no. But I actually made a typo, it should be w+x <= y+z AND w<=y. So I'd say yes
 
ok, would that change anything else?

No, I think #2 would still be antisymmetric and transitive
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
