Consider the equivalence relation on Z defined by the prescription that all positive numbers are equivalent, all negative numbers are equivalent, and 0 is only equivalent to itself. Let f ∶ Z → {a, b} be the function that maps all negative numbers to a and all non-negative numbers to b. Does there exist a function F ∶ X/∼→ {a, b} such that f = F ○ π? If so, describe it

The equivalence relation on Z given by (?, ?) ∈ ? iff ? ≡ ? mod ? is an equivalence relation for an integer ? ≥ 2. a) What are the equivalence classes for R given a fixed integer ? ≥ 2? b) We denote the set of equivalence classes you found in (a) by Z_5. Even though elements of Z_5 are sets, it turns out that we can define addition and multiplication in the expected ways: [?] + [?]...
