Determine the distance equivalence classes for the relation R is defined on ℤ by a R b if |a - 2| = |b - 2|. I had to prove it was an equivalence relation as well, but that part was not hard. Just want to know if the logic and presentation is sound for the last part: 8.48) A relation R is defined on ℤ by a R b if |a - 2| = |b - 2|. Prove that R...

In the following two problems, the equivalence classes refer to the equivalence classes under the equivalence relation: aRb iff n|(a-b) where n is a fixed integer. Suppose a, b, c, d are elements of the integers such that [a] = [b] and [c] = [d]. 1. Prove [a+d] = [b+c]. 2. Prove [ac] = [bd]

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)]∼...

a) Let R be an equivalence relation defined on some set A. Prove using induction that R^n is also an equivalence relation. Note: In order to prove transitivity, you may use the fact that R is transitive if and only if R^n⊆R for ever positive integer ​n b) Prove or disprove that a partial order cannot have a cycle.
