For each of the following, prove that the relation is an equivalence relation. Then give the information about the equivalence classes, as specified.

a) The relation ∼ on R defined by x ∼ y iff x = y or xy = 2. Explicitly find the equivalence classes [2], [3], [−4/5 ], and [0]

b) The relation ∼ on R+ × R+ defined by (x, y) ∼ (u, v) iff x2v = u2y. Explicitly find the equivalence classes [(5, 2)] and [(1, 4)]. For fixed values a, b ∈ R+, describe [(a, b)], both as a set and geometrically

On set R2 define ∼ by writing(a,b)∼(u,v)⇔ 2a−b = 2u−v. Prove that∼is an equivalence relation on R2 In the previous problem: (1) Describe [(1,1)]∼. (That is formulate a statement P(x,y) such that [(1,1)]∼ = {(x,y) ∈ R2 | P(x,y)}.) (2) Describe [(a, b)]∼ for any given point (a, b). (3) Plot sets [(1,1)]∼ and [(0,0)]∼ in R2.

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]

Consider the following relation on the set Z: xRy ? 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?

Write vectors in R2 as (x,y). Define the relation on R2 by writing (x1,y1) ∼ (x2,y2) iff y1 − sin x1 = y2 − sin x2 . Prove that ∼ is an equivalence relation. Find the classes [(0, 0)], [(2, π/2)] and draw them on the plane. Describe the sets which are the equivalence classes for this relation.

Determine whether the given relation is an equivalence relation on {1,2,3,4,5}. If the relation is an equivalence relation, list the equivalence classes (x, y E {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.) {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (1,3), (3,1), (3,4), (4,3)} If the relation above is not an equivalence relation, state that the relation is not an equivalence relation  and why. Example: "Not an equivalence relation. Relation is not symmetric" Remember to test all pairs in relation R
