The Attempt at a Solution



OKay I could interpret A as something like

{{-...,-...}, {-1,-1}, {-1,-2}...{-1,1}...{1,-1}, {1,1}, {2,...}, {..., ...}}

Just a lot of combinations of integers without 0

I don't understand this

(x,y)R(u,v) thing? WHy is it a point??

Don't skip the elements like: {0,-1}, {0,-2}...{0,1},{0,2}...

I doubt that you will get much flack when you ask about a "quotient set".
 
You know what this is the wrong problem sorry. I was wondering why it was so hard becuase it isn't even assigned! (yeah I am an idiot lol)

I am so soryr for wasting your time Sammy
