Question 1

Easy

Define a partition of the set C = {1, 2, 3, 4}.

💡 Hint: Remember that a partition includes disjoint sets covering the entire set.

Question 2

Easy

What are the properties of an equivalence relation?

💡 Hint: Use the acronym RST as a memory aid.

Question 1

What is a key property of a partition?

  • All subsets must overlap.
  • Each subset must be non-empty and disjoint.
  • Subsets can be empty.

💡 Hint: Recall the definition of a partition we discussed.

Question 2

If two equivalence classes intersect, what can we conclude?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the definition of equivalence classes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Prove that if the equivalence relation R has classes of size 1, then R is trivial.

💡 Hint: Consider what it means for elements to be only related to themselves.

Question 2

For the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, can you create at least three distinct partitions and describe the equivalence relation for each?

💡 Hint: Focus on how elements belong to each class based on your subsets.
