# Math Help - Poset troubles

1. ## Poset troubles

Hello ppl :-)

A={3,5,9,15,24,45} . Also R={(x,y) | x divides y} . Proove that
1) R is partial ordered

2) Hasse diagramm for R

3) Upper bounds of {3,5} , Lower bounds for {15,45}

-------

for 1) i have to show that R is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive

not sure how to show it for this particular problem though.

2) xy

x y

0

3) No idea =/

2. for 1) i have to show that R is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive

Start by writing the definition: what it means for R to be reflexive. Substitute the definition of R into that expression.

2) xy

A Hasse diagram is a graph where vertices are elements of the partially ordered set, i.e., A. Zero is not a member of A and neither are x and y.

3) Upper bounds of {3,5} , Lower bounds for {15,45}
Again, write the definition, what it means for a number x to be an upper bound of 3 and 5 and substitute the definition of R there.
