State the reason why the Relation R = {(a, b) : a ≤ b²} on the set R of real numbers is not reflexive.

State the reason for the relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} not to be transitive.
Show that a function f : R → R given by f(x) =ax + b,a, b ∈ R, a ≠ 0 is a bijective.
If f : R → R defined as f(x) = is an invertible function, write
Find the scalar components of the vector with initial point A(2,1) and terminal point B (– 5, 7).
If A is an invertible square matrix of order 3 and |A| = 5, then find the value of |adj A|.
