Let X be the set of equivalence classes. So X = {[(a,b)] : a ∈ Z,b ∈ N} (recall that [(a,b)] = {(c,d) ∈Z×N : (a,b) ∼ (c,d)}).

We deﬁne an addition and a multiplication on X as follows: [(a,b)] + [(c,d)] = [(ad + bc,bd)] and [(a,b)]·[(c,d)] = [(ac,bd)]

Prove that this addition and multiplication is well-deﬁned on X.

What are the equivalence classes for a ∗ b ∗ ? • How many equivalence classes are there? • Make each one into a state and show how one can construct a minimal deterministic finite automaton from them. • Explain how to choose the start state and accepting states and how to draw the arrows. • The resulting automaton is minimal for this language. How about for {a n b n : n ≥ 0}? What are the equivalence classes?
