11. Let $A = \{3, 4, 5\}$ and $B = \{4, 5, 6\}$ and let $S$ be the "divides"

Exercises 19-20 refer to unions and intersections of relations. Since relations
are subsets of Cartesian products, their unions and intersections can be
calculated as for any subsets. Given two relations $R$ and $S$ from $A$ to $B$,
$$ R \cup S = \{(x, y) \in A \times B | (x, y) \in R \text{ or } (x, y) \in S\} $$
$$ R \cap S = \{(x, y) \in A \times B | (x, y) \in R \text{ and } (x, y) \in S\} $$
19. Let $A = \{2, 4\}$ and $B = \{6, 8, 10\}$ and define relations $R$ and $S$
from $A$ to $B$ as follows: For every $(x, y) \in A \times B$,
$$ x R y \Leftrightarrow x | y \text{ and } x S y \Leftrightarrow y - 4 = x $$
State explicitly which ordered pairs are in $A \times B$, $R$, $S$, $R \cup S$,
and $R \cap S$.
20. Let $A = \{-1, 1, 2, 4\}$ and $B = \{1, 2\}$ and define relations $R$ and
$S$ from $A$ to $B$ as follows: For every $(x, y) \in A \times B$,
$$ x R y \Leftrightarrow |x| = |y| \text{ and } x S y \Leftrightarrow x - y \text{ is even} $$
State explicitly which ordered pairs are in $A \times B$, $R$, $S$, $R \cup S$,
and $R \cap S$.
21. Define relations $R$ and $S$ on $\mathbb{R}$ as follows:
$$ R = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} | x < y\} \text{ and } S = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} | x = y\}$$
That is, $R$ is the "less than" relation and $S$ is the "equals" relation on
$\mathbb{R}$. Graph $R$, $S$, $R \cup S$, and $R \cap S$ in the Cartesian plane.
22. Define relations $R$ and $S$ on $\mathbb{R}$ as follows:
$$ R = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} | x^2 + y^2 = 4\} \text{ and } S = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} | x = y\} $$
Graph $R$, $S$, $R \cup S$, and $R \cap S$ in the Cartesian plane.
23. Define relations $R$ and $S$ on $\mathbb{R}$ as follows:
$$ R = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} | y = |x|\} \text{ and } S = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} | y = 1\} $$
Graph $R$, $S$, $R \cup S$, and $R \cap S$ in the Cartesian plane.
24. In Example 8.1.7 consider the query SELECT Patient_ID#, Name FROM S WHERE
Primary_Diagnosis = X. The response query is the projection onto the first
two coordinates of the intersection of the database with the set
$A_1 \times A_2 \times A_3 \times \{X\}$.
a. Find the result of the query SELECT Patient_ID#, Name FROM S WHERE
Primary_Diagnosis = pneumonia.
b. Find the result of the query SELECT Patient_ID#, Name FROM S WHERE
Primary_Diagnosis = appendicitis.
