Recall from class that we defined the set of integers by
defining the equivalence relation ∼ on N × N by (a, b) ∼ (c, d) =⇒
a + d = c + b, and then took the integers to be equivalence classes
for this relation, i.e. Z = [(a, b)]∼ | (a, b) ∈ N × N . We then
proceeded to define 0Z = [(0, 0)]∼, 1Z = [(1, 0)]∼, − [(a, b)]∼ =
[(b, a)]∼, [(a, b)]∼...

Let Q be the set {(a, b) ∶ a ∈ Z and b ∈ N}.
Let (a, b), (c, d) ∈ Q. Show that (a, b) ∼ (c, d) if and only if
ad − bc = 0 defines an equivalence relation on Q.

the following elements:

x2 + y is even.
For each question below, if your answer is "yes", then prove it, if
your answer is "no", then show a counterexample.
(i) Is R reflexive?
(ii) Is R symmetric?
(iii) Is R antisymmetric?
(iv) Is R transitive?
(v) Is R an equivalence relation? If it is, then describe the
equivalence classes of R. How many equivalence classes are
there?
