Reflexive Property

A relation is reflexive (has the reflexive property) if it applies to itself.
Example: The relation ≤ on numbers is reflexive because for any number x we have x ≤ x.
Example: The relation "divides" on positive integers is reflexive because for any number x, x divides x (that is, the remainder is 0).
Example: The relation < on numbers is not reflexive: because 1 < 1 is not true.
Example: The relation = on any set is reflexive because always have x = x.
Example: The relation "is a sibling of" is not reflexive: because you are not considered to be a sibling of yourself!
In mathematical notation: a relation R on a set S is reflexive if for all x belonging to S we have: x is related to x, written as xRx.

a = a
x+1 = x+1
log (x+10) = log (x+10)
It means simply that a mathematical variable or expression is equal to itself.
