Composition of relations - check my method

81 Views Asked by At

I just want to check that the method I am using for the composition of relations is right.

If a pair in R (z,y) and a pair in S (x,z) then (x,y) yield and become a pair in SoR?

Correct. Easy check is to view the pairs as two things that have to connect to each other

Put them in the order of the relations in the compositions, i.e $S$ pair before $R$ pair:

$(x,z)(z,y)$ Are the two "inner elements" equal? Yes as $z=z$. Then the outer elements $x,y$ form a pair $(x,y)$ in the composition $S \circ R$
