Answer

a) $R_1 \cup R_2=\{(1,1); (1,2); (2,1); (2,2); (2,3); (3,1); (3,2);(3,3);(3,4) \}$ b) $R_1 \cap R_2=\{(1,2); (2,3); (3,4) \}$ c) $R_1 - R_2= \emptyset$ d) $R_2 - R_1= \{ (1,1); (2,1); (2,2) ; (3,1); (3,2); (3,3)\}$

Work Step by Step

$R_1 =\{ (1,2),(2,3),(3,4)\}$ and $R_2 =\{ (1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4)\}$ be relations from $\{1,2,3\}$ to $\{1,2,3,4\}$. a) $R_1 \cup R_2=\{(1,1); (1,2); (2,1); (2,2); (2,3); (3,1); (3,2);(3,3);(3,4) \}$ b) $R_1 \cap R_2=\{(1,2); (2,3); (3,4) \}$ c) $R_1 - R_2= \emptyset$ d) $R_2 - R_1= \{ (1,1); (2,1); (2,2) ; (3,1); (3,2); (3,3)\}$
