Let A =  × , and define a relation R on A by (a, b) R (c, d) iff ab = cd.

(a) Show that R is an equivalence relation on A.


(b) List the elements in the equivalence class E(9, 2).


(c ) Find an equivalence class with exactly two elements.


(d) Find an equivalence class with exactly three elements.


(e) Find an equivalence class with exactly four elements.


(f) Let B = ×  and extend R to an equivalence relation on B. Now what does E(9. 2) look like?
