Calculating Relation R Elements and Reflexivity ($l+m$)

Given set A = {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3} and relation R defined by $xRy \iff 0 \le x^2 + 2y \le 4$. We need to find $l$, the number of elements in R, and $m$, the minimum elements to add for R to be reflexive, then calculate $l + m$.

Finding Relation R Elements ($l$)

We check the condition $0 \le x^2 + 2y \le 4$ for all pairs $(x, y)$ where $x, y \in A$. This involves finding the range for $y$ for each $x$ in A that satisfies the inequalities.

$x$ $x^2$ Condition $0 \le x^2+2y \le 4$ Range for $y$ Valid $y$ in A Count Pairs in R
-3 9 $0 \le 9+2y \le 4$ $y \le -2.5$ {-3} 1 (-3, -3)
-2 4 $0 \le 4+2y \le 4$ $-2 \le y \le 0$ {-2, -1, 0} 3 (-2, -2), (-2, -1), (-2, 0)
-1 1 $0 \le 1+2y \le 4$ $-0.5 \le y \le 1.5$ {0, 1} 2 (-1, 0), (-1, 1)
0 0 $0 \le 0+2y \le 4$ $0 \le y \le 2$ {0, 1, 2} 3 (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2)
1 1 $0 \le 1+2y \le 4$ $-0.5 \le y \le 1.5$ {0, 1} 2 (1, 0), (1, 1)
2 4 $0 \le 4+2y \le 4$ $-2 \le y \le 0$ {-2, -1, 0} 3 (2, -2), (2, -1), (2, 0)
3 9 $0 \le 9+2y \le 4$ $y \le -2.5$ {-3} 1 (3, -3)

Summing the counts for each $x$: $l = 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 15$.

Determining Minimum Elements for Reflexivity ($m$)

A relation R is reflexive if $(x, x) \in R$ for every $x \in A$. We test the condition $0 \le x^2 + 2x \le 4$ for each $x \in A$ to see if the diagonal pairs are present.

  • For $x = -3$: $x^2+2x = 3$. $0 \le 3 \le 4$ is true. $(-3, -3) \in R$.
  • For $x = -2$: $x^2+2x = 0$. $0 \le 0 \le 4$ is true. $(-2, -2) \in R$.
  • For $x = -1$: $x^2+2x = -1$. $0 \le -1 \le 4$ is false. $(-1, -1) \notin R$.
  • For $x = 0$: $x^2+2x = 0$. $0 \le 0 \le 4$ is true. $(0, 0) \in R$.
  • For $x = 1$: $x^2+2x = 3$. $0 \le 3 \le 4$ is true. $(1, 1) \in R$.
  • For $x = 2$: $x^2+2x = 8$. $0 \le 8 \le 4$ is false. $(2, 2) \notin R$.
  • For $x = 3$: $x^2+2x = 15$. $0 \le 15 \le 4$ is false. $(3, 3) \notin R$.

The pairs needed for reflexivity that are missing from R are $(-1, -1)$, $(2, 2)$, and $(3, 3)$.

Therefore, the minimum number of elements to add to make R reflexive is $m = 3$.

Final Calculation ($l + m$)

We have calculated $l = 15$ (the number of elements in R) and $m = 3$ (the minimum elements needed for reflexivity).

The sum $l + m$ is $15 + 3 = 18$.
