Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

REcall that given a set A, * is a equivalence relation over A if

- for a in A, then a*a.

- for a,b in A. If a*b, then b*a.

- for a,b,c in A. If a*b and b*c then a*c.

Consider A the set of all ordered pairs of positive integers.

- Let (a,b) in A. Then a+b = a+b. So, by definition (a,b)R(a,b).

- Let (a,b), (c,d) in A and suppose that (a,b)R(c,d) . Then, by definition a+d = b+c. Since the + is commutative over the integers, this implies that d+a = c+b. Then (c,d)R(a,b).

- Let (a,b),(c,d), (e,f) in A and suppose that (a,b)R(c,d) and (c,d)R(e,f). Then

a+d = b+c, c+f = d+e.  We have that f = d+e-c. So a+f = a+d+e-c. From the first equation we find that a+d-c = b. Then a+f = b+e. So, by definition (a,b)R(e,f).

So R is an equivalence relation.

[(a,b)] is the equivalence class of (a,b). This is by definition, finding all the elements of A that are equivalente to (a,b).

Let us find all the possible elements of A that are equivalent to (2,4). Let (a,b)R(2,4) Then a+4 = b+2. This implies that a+2 = b. So all the elements of the form (a,a+2) are part of this class.

If she saves 1$ the first week 3$ the season week 9$ the third week how much will she save in 5 weeks
ycow [4]

Based on the numbers we have we can assume that she saves 3 times more each week than the last (1*3=3, 3*3=9).

Following this trend we would multiply the amount she saved the third week ($9) by 3 to get $27 for the fourth week.

Then, we would multiply the amount she saved the fourth week ($27) by 3 to get $81 for the fifth week.

Finally, to figure out how much she saved in the 5 weeks, we need to add each value up to get 1+3+9+27+81= $121 saved in 5 weeks
