We define a relation on set of Whole Numbers W={0,1,2,3…} As follows: We divide the number by 5 and look at the remainder. All numbers that result into the same remainder are related. E.g. 2/5 remainder =2, 7/5 remainder =2 and 12/5 remainder =2, therefore 2R7, 7R2, 7R12, 12R7, 12R2, and 2R12 etc. [2] = {2,7,12,17….} How many Equivalence classes are there. Write the first four members of each equivalence class Solution Given whole number set {0,1,2,3........} The numbers divides by 5 Any number divided by 5 we get 0,1,2,3,4 are only the remainders. The number which is exactly divisble by 5 we get remainder 0. The number which is not divisible by 5 we get the remainders(1,2,3or4). Since the given set is a whole numbers set ..the divisble numbers of 5 are greater than five and 5.that mean the whole numbers from5,6,7....are divisible by 5. There are five equivalence classes for 5. The frist four members of each equivalence is [0]={0,5,10,15...} [1]={1,6,11,16......} [2]={2,7,12,17......] [3]={3,8,13,18.......} [4]={4,9,14,19.......}. For zero remainder 5/5=0,10/5=0,…. Therefore{0,5,10,15.....} For 1 6/5=1,11/5=1... For2 7/5=2,12/5=2,... For 3 8/5=3,13/5=3..... For 4 9/5=4,14/5=4,......
