Prove Theorem 8.1, connecting the symmetry/asymmetry/antisymmetry of a relation R to the inverse R−1
of R.
1. Prove that R is symmetric if and only if R ∩ R
−1 = R = R−1.
2. Prove that R is antisymmetric if and only if R ∩ R
−1 ⊆ {ha, ai : a ∈ A}.
3. Prove that R is asymmetric if and only if R ∩ R
−1 = ∅.
