Answer

Not Reflixive Symmetric Not transitive

Work Step by Step

a) counter example : if x=1,y=0 then xCx = $\ 1^2 + 1^2 ≠ 1 $ Hence not reflixive b) suppose x,y are particular but arbitrary chosen integers we need to show if xCy then yCx xCy = $\ x^2 + y^2 = 1 $ xCy = $\ y^2 + x^2 = 1 $ $ commutive $ $ law$ xCy = yCx $\ that's what we need to show$ c) Counterexample let x=1,y=0,z=1 xCy = $\ 1^2 + 0^2 = 1> True $ yCz $\ 0^2 + 1^2 = 1> True $ But xCz $\ 1^2 + 1^2 ≠ 1> $ hence not transtive
