    Thank you both for the responses. I don't know why that one confused me, while none of the others did. :p

    MHB Help with an Equivalence Relation?

    Hello all, I have an equivalence relation that I need some help with. Normally I find these to be fairly simple, however I'm not sure if I'm over-thinking this one or if it's just tricky. For the relation: aRb $\Longleftrightarrow$ |a| = |b| on $\mathbb{R}$ determine whether it is an...

    HUZZAH! Thank ya'll for all the help! :D

    MHB What is the meaning of Z^2 in set notation?

    And the only reason it is $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and not $\mathbb{Z}$ is because there are two variables n and m, right? Because $\mathbb{Z}^2$ is shorthand for the Cartesian product, and this means $n$ belongs to $\mathbb{Z}$ and $m$ belong to $\mathbb{Z}$, which makes it squared. If there was only...

    MHB What is the meaning of Z^2 in set notation?

    How do we know that it is non-negative? Couldn't m equal, say -2 and n equal -1? Making the function $-1 \geq -4$ which would still be true, right? I think I'm starting to understand. The notation used is just really throwing me off. The range would be $\mathbb{Z}^+$ because (n, m) are...

    MHB What is the meaning of Z^2 in set notation?

    A would be the set of all real numbers and B would be the set of all integers. Right? Which would mean the first component of the ordered pair (for the Cartesian product) would be from $\mathbb{R}$ and the second component would be from $\mathbb{Z}$ I hope that's what you meant, otherwise I...

    MHB What is the meaning of Z^2 in set notation?

    $$$$ Thank you for responding! So, for the first one of yours: A would be $\mathbb{R}$ and B would be in $\mathbb{Z}$? Now if I have a function defined as f: D -> $\mathbb{R}$ :: g((n, m)) = \[\sqrt{n-2m}\] with $D\subseteq $$\mathbb{Z}$$$^2$$ What would the range be? If I try what you...

    MHB What is the meaning of Z^2 in set notation?

    Hello all, I'm having a lot of trouble when it comes to set notation. For instance, what does (the set of all integers) $$Z^2$$ mean? What values are contained in this set?Sorry if I didn't use the MATH tags right.
