Like if \( x \ne y \) and \( y \ne z\) does that mean that \( x \ne z \) ?

noooo like is this relation transitive or not?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you're proving that property isn't true ! an example can be an answer !
OpenStudy (turingtest):
a counter-example could be an answer
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
waiiitt is this relation transitive?
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
i thought it was

OpenStudy (experimentx):
1 ! = 3
3 != 1
1 != 1 (false)
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
ohhh so x can equal z ohhhh
OpenStudy (turingtest):
it must not be\[1\neq2\]\[2\neq1\]\[1=1\]false yeah
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
okkkkk thanksssssss
OpenStudy (swissgirl):

me too this is all new to me, but it makes sense...
OpenStudy (experimentx):
well ... on the other hand ... = is transitive
OpenStudy (turingtest):
that's a separate matter
= is transitive and symmetric
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
and relflexive since x=x
OpenStudy (turingtest):
ah yeah, indeed :)

umm wld u say that the divide relation is transitive?
OpenStudy (experimentx):
algebra stuff ..
OpenStudy (turingtest):
how can an operator be transitive?
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
like if x divides y and y divides z does x divide z?
OpenStudy (experimentx):
lol ... divides is a relation and it does.

i wld say its transitive i mean like with this example it does if 12 divides 6 and 6 divides 3 then 12 divides 3
OpenStudy (experimentx):
well ... yes it is
OpenStudy (experimentx):
reflexive ... but not symmetric.
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
yaaaaaaaaa
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
