To prove that the relation \( R \) defined on the set of natural numbers \( \mathbb{N} \) by \( xRy \) if and only if \( 2x^2 - 3xy + y^2 = 0 \) is not symmetric but is reflexive, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Prove that the relation is reflexive A relation \( R \) is reflexive if for every element \( x \in \mathbb{N} \), it holds that \( xRx \). 1. Let \( x \) be any natural number. We need to check if \( xRx \) holds. ...
