On the set of all integers Z\mathbb Z, define a relation RR by R={(a,b)∈Z×Z ∣ ab≥0}.R=\{(a,b)\in \mathbb Z\times\mathbb Z\,|\,ab\ge 0\}. (i) Show whether the relation RR is reflexive. (ii) Examine if RR is symmetric and give reasons for your answer. (iii) Investigate the transitivity of RR. Provide rigorous justification for each property that you verify or reject.
