Find classes of relation equivalence












0














$S={3n+1:n∈N} = {1,4,7,10,...}$ and relation is defined as:



$(x,y) ∈ ρ text{ def }⇔ 4|(x + 3y)$



I need to prove that relation is relation of equivalence (that means that it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.) I know how to do that, and once I prove that it is relation of equivalence, I need to find the equivalence classes.




My question is: For example: class of $1$ is defined as $$1={x∈S : xtext{ is related to }1} = {x∈S: 4|(x + 3*1)} = {3n+1:n∈Ntext{ and }4|(3n+1)+3text{ or just }4|(3n+3)}$$ ???




Please help, thank you!

          Well, let's say that the equivalence class of $1$ is
          $$bar 1={xin S colon (x,1)in rho}=$$$$={xin Scolon 4|x+3cdot 1}={xin mathbb N_0colon x=3n+1, 4|(3n+1)+3}.$$



          So $bar 1$ is the set of natural numbers such that $x=3n+1$, $(nin mathbb N_0)$ and $4|3n+4$.



          Since this is the same that $4|3n$, this implies $4|n$, so $n=4k$ with $kin mathbb N_0$.



          So the elements of $bar 1$ are those of the form $3n+1=12k+1$ with $kin mathbb N_0$, that is,
          $$bar 1={1,13,25,37,ldots}$$
          (note that, in fact, $bar 1subset S$) and you can figure out what (and how many) other equivalence classes there are.

            You can do the same math for $4$ instead of $1$, and you would get$$bar 4={4,16,28,40,ldots}.$$ Also $$bar7={7,19,31,43,ldots}$$ and $$bar{10}={10,22,34,46,ldots},$$ and those are the only four equivalence classes in $S$.

          Well, let's say that the equivalence class of $1$ is
          $$bar 1={xin S colon (x,1)in rho}=$$$$={xin Scolon 4|x+3cdot 1}={xin mathbb N_0colon x=3n+1, 4|(3n+1)+3}.$$



          So $bar 1$ is the set of natural numbers such that $x=3n+1$, $(nin mathbb N_0)$ and $4|3n+4$.



          Since this is the same that $4|3n$, this implies $4|n$, so $n=4k$ with $kin mathbb N_0$.
