Given,
A=−4,−3,−2,0,1,3,4 and R={(a,b)\in A\times A : b=∣a∣ or {b}^{2}=a+1} be a relation on A,
So, the relation is given by,
R=(−4,4),(−3,3),(0,0),(1,1),(3,3),(4,4),(0,1),(3,−2)
Now, relation to be reflexive (a,a)∈R∀a∈A
⇒(−4,−4),(−3,−3),(−2,−2) also should be added in R.
Now relation to be symmetric if (a,b)∈R, then (b,a)∈R∀a,b∈A
⇒(4,−4),(3,−3),(1,0),(−2,3) also should be added in R
Hence, minimum number of elements to be added to
R=3+4=7
