Mathematics Question on Relations
Let R =\\{( P , Q ) | P and Q are at the same distance from the origin \\} be a relation, then the equivalence class of (1,-1) is the set:
A
S=\left\\{(x, y) | x^{2}+y^{2}=4\right\\}
B
S =\left\\{( x , y )| x ^{2}+ y ^{2}=1\right\\}
C
S =\left\\{( x , y ) | x ^{2}+ y ^{2}=\sqrt{2}\right\\}
D
S =\left\\{( x , y ) \mid x ^{2}+ y ^{2}=2\right\\}
Answer
S =\left\\{( x , y ) \mid x ^{2}+ y ^{2}=2\right\\}
Explanation
Solution
Equivalence class of (1,−1) is a circle with centre at (0,0) and radius =2 ⇒x2+y2=2 S =\left\\{( x , y ) \mid x ^{2}+ y ^{2}=2\right\\}
