In problems 4, 5: show that the relation described is (1) reflexive, (2) symmetric, (3) transitive; it
is therefore an equivalence relation; (4) sketch it, by drawing the underlying set as a subset of the
plane, then colouring each equivalence class in a different colour.
4. The relation
~ on Z? defined by, (a, b) ~ (c, d) if there exist m, n E N such that mb(b? – 3a²) =
nd(ď² – 3c²).
