1) Let R be the relation defined on N N as follows: (m, n)R(p, q) if and only if m - pis divisible by 3 and n - q is divisible by 5. For example, (2, 19)R(8,4). 1. Identify two elements of N X N which are related under R to (6, 45). II. Is R reflexive? Justify your answer. III. Is R symmetric? Justify your answer. IV. Is R transitive? Justify your answer. V.Is R an equivalence relation? Justify...
(14) Let R be a relation on the integers defined by m R n if and only if m+m2 n+ n2(mod 5). Show that R is an equivalence relation and determine all the equivalence classes.
Let R be the relation on N defined by xRy iff 2 divides x+y. R is an equivalence relation. You do not have to prove that R is an equivalence relation. True or False: 3 ∈ 4/R.
3. (8 points) Let R be the relation defined on Z as follows: For every m,n ez, m Rn4|(m– n). Is R an equivalence relation? If so, prove it. If not, explain which properties of an equivalence relation fails by providing a counterexample for each property that is not satisfied.
probelms 9.1 9 Modular arithmetic Definition 9.1 Let S be a set. A relation R = R(,y) on S is a statement about pairs (x,y) of elements of S. For r,y ES, I is related to y notation: Ry) if R(x,y) is true. A relation Ris: Reflexive if for any I ES, R. Symmetric if for any ry ES, Ry implies y Rr. Transitive if for any r.y.ES, Ry and yRimply R. An equivalence relation is a reflexive, symmetric and...
