1. We define a relation C on the set of humans as xRy ⇐⇒ x and y were born in the same country

Describe the equivalence class containing yourself as an element.

2. Let R be an equivalence relation with (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) is not ∈ R (that is, y does not relate to z). Can you determine whether or not xRz? Why or why not?

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.
