Here's the Solution to this Question

Let us determine if the following is an equivalence relation on X = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}. If the following are equivalence relation, then let us enumerate its equivalence classes.


1. R=\{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4. 4), (5. 5), (1, 3), (3, 1)\}


Taking into account that \{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4. 4), (5. 5)\}\subset R, we conclude that the relation is reflexive. Since R^{-1}=\{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4. 4), (5. 5), (3, 1), (1, 3)\}=R, the relation R is symmetric. Taking into account that (a,b),(b,c)\in R implies (a,c)\in R for all (a,b),(b,c)\in R, we conclude that this relation is transitive.

Let us enumerate its equivalence classes. Recall that [a]=\{x\in X:(a,x)\in R\}. It follows that there are 4 different equivalence classes: [1]=\{1,3\},\ [2]=\{2\},\ [4]=\{4\},\ [5]=\{5\}.


2. R=\{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (1, 5),(5, 1), (3, 5), (5, 3), (1, 3), (3, 1)\}


Taking into account that \{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4. 4), (5. 5)\}\subset R, we conclude that the relation is reflexive. Since R^{-1}=\{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (5, 1), (1, 5),(5, 3), (3, 5), (3, 1),(1, 3)\}=R,

the relation R is symmetric. Taking into account that (a,b),(b,c)\in R implies (a,c)\in R for all (a,b),(b,c)\in R, we conclude that this relation is transitive.

Let us enumerate its equivalence classes. It follows that there are 3 different equivalence classes: [1]=\{1,3,5\},\ [2]=\{2\},\ [4]=\{4\}.


3. R=\{(x, y) :13\text{ divides }x + y\}


Taking into account that 13 does not divide 2=1+1, we conclude that (1,1)\notin R, and hence R is not reflexive. Therefore, R is not an equivalence relation.
