12) Use generating functions to find the number of ways to select 10 balls from an urn containing red, white and blue balls if:

a. The selection has at least two balls of each color.
b. The selection has at most two balls of each color.
c. The selection has an even number of red balls.

13) Determine whether the relation R on the set of all real numbers is reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, and/or transitive, where (x,y) E R, if and only if:
a) x + y = 0
b) xy = 0

14) Find:
a) R1 U R3
