$X = \mathbb{Z}^+$ and $R$ is the relation defined by $nRm$ if and only if there is a non-zero $k \in \mathbb{Q}$ for which $n^k = m$. Is this relation anti-symmetric? Explain.
I'm pretty sure it isn't, but I don't know how to justify it.

$4,2 \in \mathbb{Z+}$
$2 = 4^{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $ 4 = 2^{2}$
Then $2R4$ and $4R2$ but $2 \not= 4$
Then isn't anti-symmetric
