Well Ordered Set : Proof of Refelxive and Transitive under Relation
Not what you're looking for?
Trying to prove the following: A set "A" is called a well ordered set if there is a relation R on A such that R is reflexive, transitive, and for all a,b are elements of A, either aRb or bRa.
Prove that the set of the integers is a well-ordered set under the relation less than or equal to.
Would I just need to prove the less than or equal to is reflexive and transitive?
How would I do this?
