Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the set G = {a, b, c, d} and the equivalence relation R defined by 'same first letter', construct the equivalence classes and explain if they form a partition.
💡 Hint: Consider how each character relates to itself.
If we create a set H = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and partition it as {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5}, {6}}, demonstrate how to derive an equivalence relation from this partition.
💡 Hint: Examine how items in clusters are related and cover overlap.
